Description
Narrative: FAERIE TALES is inspired by a land far north where sea, earth and sky layer upon one another to the point where they are separate and distinct, yet mysteriously the same.
Overall Dimensions: Width 37” x Height 35” x Depth 4.5″
Format: oil painted panels, attached to wooden hanging structure
Oil paint on stretched canvas.
The Stretchers (the canvas panels): Designed, created and built by the artist, this unique ‘Nature’s Secret’ stretcher is hand drawn and carved with a multi-layered, ridged edge for added effect. The stretchers have a convex back which protrudes from the wall enhancing it’s presence and relationship with the viewer.
The Wooden Hanging Structure: Designed by the artist to augment the narrative, the work features a complementary mahogany sculptural element made by furniture maker Robert Post. The art and wood structure are set an inch in front of, not against, the wall and have the appearance of floating.
The Paint: ‘Old Holland Classic Oil Colours’ oil paint for the richest, most vibrant color.
The Oil: ‘Chelsea Classical Studio’ Clarified Pale Cold Pressed Walnut Oil. This oil will not darken, and contributes to both the deep richness of tones and hues, as well as the brightness and energy of the highlights in the work. This magnificent oil was mentioned many times as a favored painting medium in the writings of Leonardo DaVinci!
The Canvas: #10 double-filled Army Duck canvas, selected for its smooth, uniform surface and durability.
