AUTUMN BEAUTY 8, 9089, sunken relief of autumn leaves

This is another of my sunken relief leaf paintings. I blew it on photographing it. I varnished it before I photographed it and the shine is very distracting. I had to manually go in and digitally paint out some of the shine with my photo editing software. Because I had to turn down the brightness, the squares do not show their silver leaf shine very well. Problems, problems. What I need is a polarizing lens to eliminate the shine.
For purchase information, please see my website. SOLD

Rose Quartz, 24x24 acrylic geologic abstract

Another in my geologic abstract series, this painting has lots of texture and silver metal leaf. It features bronze, quinacridone crimson, burnt umber, silver and black acrylic paints. It reminded me of rose quartz, a rare mineral which, supposedly, promotes feelings of self worth.

If I had cherry cabinets, stainless appliances, and dark granite, I would want this for my kitchen. Oh, I've been watching too much Home & Garden television.

Fruit & Silver 2, 5x7 oil

This is the second one I did for the demo at my gallery. The first version of this still life was 11x14 (see earlier post). SOLD

Fruit and Silver, 11x14 oil

Thrift stores can be a great resource for still life materials. This silver sugar bowl looked terrible when I picked it up for $4. A little silver polish did wonders. Painting reflective surfaces is challenging and fun.

I couldn't come up with a more imaginative title than Fruit and Silver. It's 11x14, oil.
