Original oil on canvas abstract paintings of David Guyce LeDoux were painted using gesso as a base layer. Oil paints were applied through various techniques, such as layering, sweeping brushstrokes, and dripping, followed with bold colors, textures, and non-representational forms to convey emotion or concept.

All original oil on canvas paintings are created on stretched canvas. Some works are framed, while others are unframed. Unframed paintings offer greater flexibility in choosing framing options.

The majority of the original works are created in a large-scale format, measuring 44" x 54". This size allows for an expansive display of texture, color, and composition, making a bold statement in any space. The generous dimensions of these pieces enable intricate details and dynamic visual impact, characteristic of the artist's signature style.

Over time, oil paintings may face issues like cracking, where thick layers of paint shrink or dry unevenly; yellowing of the varnish; or color fading due to light exposure. The canvas can also deteriorate, warping or becoming brittle, especially in humid or dry conditions.

To preserve the painting, it's important to store it in a climate-controlled space, avoid direct sunlight, and regularly dust it with a soft brush. Periodic checks for damage and professional restoration can also help maintain its condition.
