Magnolias are Gold
Springs marks the blooming of beautiful magnolias that shine in the occasional sunlight when the sun peeks through the clouds, at least that's how it is here in the dreary grey Portland weather. I imagined a pair of royal-looking Goldfinches sitting among those sunlit blooms, casting their own gold aura around.
This is an original mixed media painting on olive green colored handmade paper, with gouache, embroidery threads and beads . The size of the painting is approximately 5" x 7" and is mounted in a float frame. The overall size of the frame is approximately 6"x8". It comes varnished with 2 coats of Krylon Kamar spray varnish to ensure protection from sunlight over time.
The frame is handmade in my home studio from pinewood and has a double coat of oak water based varnish. It comes in two parts that are attached with screws on the back. If ever need be, the painting can be detached from the outer frame by removing the said screws.
Artist's signature with the date on the side and back of the frame.
PS: The last video is to show the process of making the artwork
