This painting measures 36 x 36 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.

"Gator & Ibis”  Features a Gator in a pond with a Scarlet Ibis, Goldfish & Lily Pads.
