Hi Everybody
The painting is finished and today my eldest daughter came to collect it.
She is going to put it in her dining room and she is thrilled to bits with it.
You can see from her holding it just how big it is but I am really pleased with the way it turned out.
So covering up the Audrey Hepburn painting underneath has worked out well in the end and Mandi now has a more modern painting to add to her home
I should have signed it for when I get to be a famous artist !!
There is a lot of Arteza Metallic Colours in there as well as the gold but I have also added the Gold Leaf which shines brightly in the picture.
I used a really thin brush to create what look like gold veins in the colours.

And then it has had two coats of varnish to seal it all.
Oh well I am pleased that Mandi is pleased with it and it has now gone to its new home.
I have another one on the go at present which is for Griffs eldest daughter Nicola and that has also got gold leaf on it.
Its not as big as this one and I will show you that next week once the varnish is dry

Outstanding modern art 😯
ReplyDeleteA truly beautiful work of art, not surprised Mandi is well pleased with it, look forward to seeing the next one....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You're truly an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThe painting is beautiful! I have no doubt your daughter will proudly display it in her house. Maybe next time you visit, take a bit of paint and a detail brush and sign it. Those visiting who see it but don’t comment about it might be pleasantly surprised to see it was done by her Mom!

Absolutely fantastic Christina, well done.
ReplyDeleteThought you may be interested to know the hospital doctor phoned here today with the results of the removal of the two nasty lumps. She started with "it was cancer" all has been removed. One was a BCC, the very nasty one was a Squamous Cell Carcinoma and because this type can spread I have to inspect all my body every two months for "anything".
Good news anyway, sorry I have gone on. Diana Lawton xxx
Absolutely beautiful in every sense, I would love to have it myself, even though the colours are wrong for my lounge LOL.
ReplyDeleteKeep safe and well
