New Surface

As you've probably noticed I love trying out new things. 

This morning I used an aquabord panel instead of my usual watercolor paper 

to paint a bird on a cactus. I'm still unsure if I like it as much as I do paper, but I do like that it doesn't need to be framed to be displayed. I bought a whole bunch of panels during our recent visit to the Dick Blick art store in San Diego.
