Size: 12x12x1.5 in. on canvas
Medium: acrylic with gold accents
Renaissance Memories is a fun semi-abstract in acrylic with gold accents. I especially love the background in the upper half of the painting. I experimented with "subtractive" techniques to let part of a blue under layer show; then I added gold pigment powder and acrylic paint. I think the result does have a Renaissance feel . I see an old tapestry... The figure is quickly sketched and her gold hair net with its textured gold metal contour is also a Renaissance touch. The vibrant red is very rich and will a note of colour to any room. The deep edges are painted black; the painting is signed at the back, is wired, varnished and ready to be enjoyed right out of the box. Be ready...this is a conversation piece even if it is only 12"x 12".
