This painting measures 24 x 24 with a 2.25 inch gold-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.

"Deep Woods - Owl & Starling”  Features a Great Horned Owl, a Starling, a Moth, and Flora.
