Benediction
Delicate glazes of oil depict a semi abstract meditation inspired by a stag horn fern and God's desire for us to draw near to Him. Warm red gold fronds resemble hands raised in benediction of the approaching luna moths. Varnished with gamvar to allow proper curing, the piece is painted on a 3/4" cradled panel. The gallery sides are painted in deep teal green and soft copper metallic acrylic and set in a wood illusion frame of natural wood lined with black.
