This is my 3rd successful piece in my "Magnification" Series, Oil on linen, 24"x 48", completed in 2011. I just hung it over my fireplace and I am enjoying it! I came to relize that I enjoyed the close up, or magnified, edits of paintings, whether my own, or those I took in museums during our travels. So, I gave myself permission to begin creating layers after layers of oils, applied mostly with torn pieces of cardboard. Sanding, scraping, and reapplying glazeing of oils, were all a part of this delightful, experimental, thearapudic journey. Each canvas is unique, and the exploration and lessons learned are never the same! I look forward to what will happen next!
