This was a painting that I did for myself, to hang in my home. Its huge 30 x 40″ canvas (which is quite big for me!). It was a challenge to say the least, but I love the outcome. The mix of fluid art in the background and a mixture of brush and palette knife over the top to create depth and texture. The background uses a mixture of golds, which really shimmer, with beautiful and delicate lacing in the greens and blacks towards the base.
