"You First"

Beau Chamberlain, You First, acrylic on panel, 16" x 16"

This painting is a little pinker than what you see in the jpg. I hope I am not becoming the girly girl who collects pink stuff (please disregard the pink scooter and pink laptop). What attracted me to this piece was the empty space in the background, which appears mottled though the surface is a flawless plane. At first glance, Beau's backgrounds appear like perfect porcelain, but he often plays with that by painting in a subtle, nearly imperceptible surprise.
