I did this one on a Masonite board that I had coated with gesso so it had a little more texture than the  Gessoboard that I bought.   The paint goes on so different than on the canvas ones.  I just like it all.  I guess I prefer the linen panels.  I used to like the stretched canvas but am always afraid I will puncture the canvas while moving them around so much.  This one is an 8x10.  Maybe I'm moving up.  I tried several different fraes on this and I had one wide off white with gold trim and it really was what it needed.   I donated this one to my bank's Open House for a drawing.  It is in our local park.
