My process is born of play. It is also inspired by travels to Italy where I’ve cultivated a strong appreciation for antiquity. I’m using the ancient arts of marbling and gilding with my contemporary subject. The trilliums are painted in watercolor with gold gesso background. Then gold leaf is applied - very shiny!
Digital doesn't quite capture the change in the gilding from shiny new to antique, as a glaze is added and they are aged to appear older than the hills. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out!
You are invited to the opening celebration of Village Gallery's ART CHALLENGE
on Saturday, May 9th, 2-4pm.
MORE ABOUT THE ART CHALLENGE HERE
Village Gallery is off Salesman Road, just north of Cornell, next to the Cedar Mill Library.
There will be lots of bargains but be advised, they can go fast!
These are $60 each or $225 for the group, an exceptional value considering the time and love in each one. Only because it’s a fundraiser for Village Gallery — and you can only purchase through them.
