"Thank You For Visiting"

I really enjoyed working on this project. To begin, I found a wonderful hand stitched image of a tree in season. The work was hand crafted on linen which provided the perfect foundation for my idea. Once the piece was in the workshop I promptly added a heavy coat of gesso, allowing it to dry, followed by a light sanding with 220. I repeated the previous step an addition two times, followed by a final scuff with steel wool. Acrylic paint was then applied in a watered down state, allowed to dry and repeated several times. The final work was polished with both steel wool and cheese cloth to a unique burnished luster with a tactile feel of considerable complexity. The piece measures 19.5"x 25.5" (un-framed). This Second Season one-of-kind re-purposed work of art is available for purchase at $179.00 (price does not include shipping- free delivery within the Denver region). Contact for availability as the holidays are quickly before us! Thank you for your interest.
