smaller work - 2022
Many of the paintings here have silver leaf applied to a base of heavy rag paper. Oil paint and wax are painted over that, with the silver leaf showing through sometimes subtly and sometimes directly. Glazing (glass or plexiglas) is not used in the framing because it puts a visual as well as an actual barrier between the viewer and the artwork. The artwork is protected by the medium, the same as any oil painting.
