"Sunrise on Bamboo Garden"
Acrylics and Mixed media on canvas
22" X 30"
"SOLD"

Today's entry here is about my personal art.
Here again, some may not see it as art, others will love it. 
 But, the thing to understand, it that we can all agree to disagree.
This was one of the first larger canvas' I worked on. 
I have a great love for Gold/Silver and any metals I can work into my personal Art.
Like a Magpie, I love Bling.
I have worked with various forms of metals available to artists.
This canvas includes both the Gold and Silver as well as Copper, and a product that is a variegated metal leaf.
I lean very strongly to linear art, so this work began with a "representational" Bamboo forest on the left side.
over to the center and right sides I wanted to achieve a profusion of light.
This work took a while, but personally I like it very much.
I used Tar gel, molding paste and some additives to the paint to get a pourable quality.
What do you think?

This is VERY pleasing!!!! The colors, the composition, the BLING! It makes me want to dance in the newborn sunbeams, and listen to the breeze rustling the bamboo! <3

Thanks Marilyn and Diane.
Your input is so important to me.
I only wish I could actually photograph this painting in a way to show the gleam the metal leaf shows.
I had never painted over leaf before, and it is something I mosr surely will do again.
