Description
Actually this is one of my favorites. There is much gold metallic in this painting, but it does not show well when photographed. I have had the same bit of metallic gold for years. It is a powder I got from a printed stained glass company years ago..like 20. It is so fine it goes a long way. Like a fairy dust. It mixes well with anything. I still have almost a full bottle which is less than an oz.Reminds me of Robert Frost
Nothing Gold Can Stay:
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Interesting image, Gayle - looks better as a thumb to my eye - that's not a criticism, but it seems to need some distance to view correctly. You have a marvellous palette sense.
Cheers

Thanks for that David, I agree. In a frame on the wall it gives distance, and is quite lovely to view.

I am so pleased you like this. I love to mix colours and play ... I appreciate you supporting me. I decided it was time to start showing a few more paintings. Beau and I have been so consumed with moving here and moving there we have both been delinquent with our loves of art and photography. Thanks again, it means a lot to me.

My former husband worked there, and was a printer/sampler and master mixer of all kinds of fun gooey inks and paint stuff. Always a story huh? They printed all sorts of things that involved the furniture industry. Beautiful faux panels for furniture, and doors.I was always in line for samples... I still like the real thing,stained glass, a true lost art.He did that for a while also, but it was not profitable because it was labor intensive.

yes, labor intensive
that is why any glass work you see now is from China, although i haven't seen any painted pieces yet.

we were very disdainful during my studio days, and not a little disgusted that so many people couldn't tell the difference

It is almost a lost art form.

like so many things. It is time consuming, and you have to have a through understanding of not just the medium, but the "canvas" and how it will fire. Too long fired it is ruined, too short ruined, and sometimes ruined for no reason you can figure. It requires, not just artistic talent, but craftsmanship, and that does not necessarily go hand in hand with artistic.
