Two Moons is done with wax. I used a warm iron and gold metallic wax to get the effect.

Hi!

Yes, I love to layer washes in...the way color becomes illuminated after a swipe of an iridescent....magic.

I like how you say: "my hand is on fire for wanting to get the next idea on paper when I get home from work"

That is a great way to feel, indeed!

Hi again, the Cavern piece is acrylic (Interactive) and gold leaf on canvas. This one is 18x36

Thanks for the comments on Passage 45. Yep, the rock is real and so is the wire. It's crackle paste on canvas with oriental papers collaged on top with layers of thinned acrylic paint. The rock and wire was added last. The size is 8x8. These are so much fun to do, I've got a bunch of them, now I just need to get them out there.

I am getting more comfortable with it. I need to let go a
little more but I figured that will come with time. I am working on another one
now and I am going to try and not finish it so fast. Just let it stay with me
for a while and play with the different colors out there. I keep looking at the
picture and different colors keep coming out of it so I keep laying light
layers down on top of each other to try and get that color I see. Kind of fun.
I used to do a lot of pen and inks with a little splash of color to direct the
eye but this all color is harder. That wood pecker has been waking us up every
morning he is very pretty but also a pain in the butt.

Hi,

Thanks for looking and replying....The artwork is on unryued rice paper over watercolor paper.  No need for matting. Basically simple process but time consumming.

selliot, black mats could work, definitely for online sales.

Check with your galleries, they MAY have a preference.

Good Luck !!
