Hidden Treasure
12" x 12"
Acrylic Paint and Gold Leaf
~Sold~
Sorry I haven't posted anything lately. We have been busy with family traveling and catching up, but now back to painting!
I don't usually paint abstract paintings, I prefer still life and landscapes. I had an idea and decided to give it a try--on a small scale with a 12" x 12" canvas.
I started with a very colorful, loosely painted background. (I may have to do this again....but much larger!
The next step, I covered most of the canvas with a thick impasto layers of similar colors using a knife. I wanted it to look like broken plaster.
I then added just a very narrow edge along the openings with gold leaf.
Are you still with me? Next came more layers of the impasto plaster-type layers in lighter colors to give it depth.
I added more layers of the "plaster type layer".
Lastly, a bit of touch of on the colored under layer (where I had wayward gold leaf.)
I then framed the painting in a gold floater frame.
My little abstract adventure has sold and will soon be shipped to its new home.
I hope you have enjoyed the progress pictures of my abstract adventure! It will be a while before I do another one.
Up next is another baseball painting. This one will be going to the "Smalls" show in Mint Hill. I am currently working to finish two more small paintings for the show.
Thank you for stopping by and continuing to follow my painting adventures.
