I love the negative paintings by Sue Davis and was inspired to have a go. On a negative painting the background is painted first and then one paints around the object [the white area in my picture] rather than painting the object itself. I painted the canvas with dark green and used handmade stamps and stencils in bright colours for the details. I painted two coats of white paint on top and was debating as to whether to give it another coat but decided to leave it at that.
Your canvas looks wonderful. Great technique.
