Gold Birds - Paintings on Wood
Experimenting with metal leaf & acrylic glazes on veneer, I made these 3 paintings. Thought they needed serious gold frames to add to the atmosphere.

I love the richness of the colours with the glazes on top of the veneer which is a red mahogany or cedar type of wood, not sure what it is but it is very beautiful. I like the wat the metal leaf shines through the glazes too.
The effect, added to with the deep frames, is quiet and intimate, rich and sumptuous. Must do more!
