First Snow, final update

December 1, 2007

 

First Snow, 40H x 27W inches acrylics, crackle glaze on canvas and box-frame

First Snow, 39H x 30W inches acrylics, crackle glaze on canvas and box-frame. Finishing: added some darker areas, dripped water down the top layer of glaze, and flicked some specks of white with a toothbrush. Sold, but can be replicated as a new, unique piece by special order in the same spirit as the original.

    The layers on this are fabulous! Thanks for the closeups. The overall impression is so sedate and calming. Great piece!
