<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 2930369, member: 8267"]From the closeup view of the edge, it looks like the painting may be on a heavy paper, which was then mounted onto the canvas/burlap. The little blocks may be there to act like a mat, holding the glass off of the surface of the painting. I can't tell what the medium is, except that it does not look like pastel. Perhaps gouache, which would be more typical on paper. Some of the brown specs may be foxing, but some may be caused by the artist applying a glaze (not varnish) during the painting process that picked up and scattered some of the darker pigments already applied, particularly in the area around the eyes. </p><p><br /></p><p>A talented artist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
