Monochrome painting is something that speaks to me, an artist frequently working in monochromes. So I feel a pleasant connection with this piece.
I'm intrigued by the media and support, not being familiar with mdf.
The physicality of this painting is quite simple yet monumental.

That's a beauty.

I also like the description, "standard picture size".

No, I actually love that, and wish I'd thought of it first.

Stephanie:

mdf=medium density fiber board, wood composite, resin, etc, an upgrade from chipboard. It's what I'm using now. I don't know if it's best. I like the smooth surface and no grain. Would love to get some BVI chunks from you!

Yes, you know what I mean, right? All this picturing, painting stuff is an understanding. There are certain "conventions" "we accept". Or as in the case of yourself and your work, so smartly reject.
