This painting measures 12 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.

"Black Swans" is my newest series that features 5 Black Swans and Goldfish in a pond scene.  This series has been inspired by planning my own pond in the garden - coming late 2023.
