Precision (sold reproductions available upon request)

Precision makes simplicity from a complex use of materials. In this piece Howard layered fiber paste, acrylic paint, charcoal, and clear gesso before beginning the oil painting. This carefully constructed concert of materials supporting the subject matter is typically unnoticed by the casual observer, who is taken by the beauty of the hula dancer.

"I was really happy with how this piece turned out. Lots of planning when into it, I'm just happy I had the discipline to stick with the plan!"
