Day25, Better Days. 4 x 4 in. acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas. © 2017 Sheila Delgado

I have had so much trouble getting these soft colors to show correctly on screen. This one scanned near perfect. I only had to bring out the rust.

Some of the canvases I am using were older, and were painted on before. This one is part of a newer batch, and it is wrapped tightly. Crisp edges and corners. I like that. And the canvas texture is more pronounced. I like that too. I don’t know if it is a difference in the gesso, or the canvas cloth itself.

On this you can see small dots of color, in addition to all the larger, “blobs”. I really like the contrast of the combination. Grains of sand, chunks of clay. White washed walls that have seen better days.
