Blue Maple

This was made with 100% acrylic paint.  I used my favorite acrylics, by both Golden acrylics and Gaffrey Art Materials, which specializes in super thick high viscosity paints.

This is a heavily textured painting. The leaves are layered, and some tips are very sharp when fully cured and hardened.

Heavy use of metallic paints that shine as you change viewing angles.

Original hand painted 14in x 14in stretched canvas wrapped on a 1/2" pine frame.

While the leaves were tedious to carve, the most difficult part creating this piece was the rectangular patterned base layer.  I think it gives it a completely different vibe than a standard blended background.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
