This piece is a cousin to this one I did a few years back. I love exploring a series. It is 24x24. I gold leaf the entire canvas face then paint over it- I have fun with this technique because I love how it plays with the transparency of the paint of reflective light. It is always different depending on the angle you view it from. I also love the warmth that the gold leaf adds. It also adds a warmth.1. more new legos
2. orange julius that stayed in the blender
3. playing instruments at family night

ReplyDeleteGeneral question: How do you pack the paintings for shipping?
tamlynn I usually wrap in plastic wrap (the heavy duty commerical kind or tissue paper then depending on size and ground- a small board back the front and back w/ cardboard, 11x14 i just pack in a manilla envelope. 16x20s, 18x24s I usually again back the front and back with flat cardboard (like a painting sandwich and wrap in some waterproof sticker paper I have) If it is large 24x24 or larger I usually put an extra flat piece of cardboard against the canvas face so nothing denst it and mail it in a box it's size- I save all my dick blick boxes so I can reuse them to mail the same size paintings- if the box is too big I cut it down a bit- MAke sense?
