After some encouragement from my wife, Lee-Ann, I decided that I needed to “dress up” the original presentation I had for my smaller paintings. Working with Northwood Framing we came up with these small tabernacle frames that relate nicely with my other Flower Icon Pieces. I think they add greatly to the presentation and will be exhibited in my upcoming show at Gallery 1261. The show dates are from October 25-November 7 with an opening reception on October 25. #temperapainting #flowerpaintings #goldleafpainting #iconaesthetic

The largest of the Flower Icon series, “After the Rain”, is finally finished and ready for my solo show at Gallery 1261 in Denver (October 24-November 12). 22” x 18”, Egg Tempera with 23K Gold Leaf and Malachite Cabochons and sgraffito frame. This painting, which celebrates the simplicity of raindrops on my neighbor’s day lilies, took me almost 3 months to complete. #eggtemperapaintings #eggtemperatechnique #eggtempera #goldleafpainting #gildingart #flowerpaintings #realism #iconaesthetic #thesocietyofgilders #preraphaelite
