EACH OIL PAINTING IS DESCRIBED.  THE MEASUREMENTS ARE IN INCHES.

EACH PAINTING IS DONE ON LINEN WHICH HAS BEEN RABBIT SKIN GLUED TO CREATE A VERY DRUM-LIKE SURFACE AREA.  ONCE DRY, THREE LAYERS OF GESSO ARE APPLIED AND SANDED TO ENSURE THAT THE SURFACE IS AIRTIGHT TO PREVENT ANY OF THE OIL PAINT FROM EVER TOUCHING THE LINEN.  THIS IS THE ANTIQUE WAY OF STRETCHING A CANVAS.
