Dog Fight-Leighann Foster

In Dog Fight I bought a toy glider from the Dollar Store and used a wallpaper pattern for the background. I drew the pattern in graphite and added the small gliders flying around to tie in with the central painting. I glazed the background to push the design back while letting the drawing show through. The title comes from WWII airplane fights called Dog Fights.

I framed the small painting in the center with a narrow frame lifting the work about three eights of an inch off the background. The larger background painting is on a two-inch, gesso deep cradle board. I gilded the two-inch depth with gold to act as a frame.
