"The First Stage of Panic" is a contemporary modern abstract painting on 2 - 11 inch by 14 inch gallery wrapped canvases. To create interest in this painting I painted both red panels with acrylics and textures. I did not use texture on either of the golden panels. Sides have been painted so framing would not be needed unless desired. Painting has been glazed with a high gloss varnish to enhance the vibrancy of the colors and seal the paint for permanent protection. Pictures do NOT do justice to this painting.
