Gold leaf applied

This piece is 24” x 30” on canvas.  I have just finished applying the gold leaf to the canvas after priming the area to be covered.  This is the second work in this series where I  will paint graphic floral patterns over the gold leaf bringing another element to the painting creating a contrast between the gold leaf, the painted patterns and finally the painting of the image in pure mineral pigment powder in acrylic resin.  The final layer of the resin compound will unite the layer creating a rich multi dimensional composition.  The first in this series can be seen under the “Equestrian & Related” titled “Arabian in Floral”.
