Working on gessoed cardboard

After using up all my spare small canvases, I started with  gessoed cardboard like back in art school days. It is a pleasant change to work on a smooth hard surface. There's something to be said for the way you can make more textured marks when the surface doesn't give. Perhaps it's more apparent in these small formats. In any case, this will be easy to send in the mail: lightweight and flat.
