I wanted to experiment further with the abstract ‘river’ patterns I’ve been playing with recently. My intention is to try different colours and materials too. I was curious to see how gold leaf would sit alongside acrylic paint, so I mixed up some reds and yellows and painted them randomly onto a pencil grid I marked out on this canvas board.
Once the paint had dried, I applied some gold leaf to a few of the coloured panels.
Here is a close up and another view with the canvas board titled so you can see the gold leaf more easily.
This painting has been sold in my Etsy shop, and a donation will be made to the Arts Emergency charity from the proceeds.
Update : March 7th 2016. I have received a photograph of the finished piece, safely in its new Californian home. Here it is.
