| Buried Treasure |
This mixed media piece features multiple transparent washes over a copper-painted canvas. The squares are wood covered with gold metallic origami foil.
The thin wood squares were flat to begin with, but became curved when they were embedded in gesso and acrylic medium. I actually thought the curves they took on were a plus - another example of a happy accident.
Because of the metallic paints and foil, the light bounces around and gives the painting a warm glow. It kind of reminds me of a warm fireplace.

another amazing piece. Love how the wood squares curved and do they ever pop on the piece. You make the most beautifully expressive pieces.
your accident is a real luck for the art lovers...
Gorgeous! I love the glow it has. Do you paint on wood or canvas? Bet that texture is something to see up close.
Gorgeous color and texture.
