Dream Remnants

detail

This painting is exciting (to me).  I love the color harmony. It's a new technique I discovered by accident - I'm always experimenting you know. Usually I'm very open about my techniques, but I'm going to be stingy about this one.

I might present it to my workshop artists.  Right now I'm too enthralled with it to share.

I noticed that on my iPad, the image at the top of this post looked too dark. Above is a lighter version.  Variations in monitors makes it hard to judge how much light/dark to have on the photo, especially with metallic paints.

Burnished

This geologic abstract has a mat that I painted with two shades of copper acrylic.  Since there is copper and gold paint in the painting, I thought it really enhanced the work.

The bevel on the mat was white.  I painted the bevel black and let the paint smudge out on to the mat a bit. It looks very much like the mat is made from copper metal.
