Hope Painting #1

Painted in oil on a wooden panel, this enchanting aquatint channels a sense of serenity and wonder. A gold leaf sun/moon emerges from behind a dense grove of trees, its reflective power delivering a faint or intense glare according to the perspective or daylight intensity. The sides of the painting are accented in gold leaf, outlining the natural frame. The use of gold by the artist evokes the theme of eternity and warmth.
