This painting measures 36 x 36 with a 2.25 inch silver-leafed edge. I begin with graphite drawing on the wood surface, adding multiple layers of oil paint, washes, glazes, and metal-leaf.  Each of my paintings has about 30 layers. The edges of this painting are leafed in gold.  

"Parakeets on Pink" features Parakeets, Lilies, and other Flora.
