Painting - Handmade Water Color, Egg Tempura And Oil, 24kt Gold, Platinum On Paper And Board
Description
This painting is about finding a place to quiet the mind and seek God for answers to the questions upon your heart. It is about discovering that God created colors to enrich the soul and bring a love and compassion to what otherwise would seem like a "dark and dreary world" of black and white form. It is about balancing what is within...you; rather than what is without....you. Color unveils the beauty of life within you and it is always found circulating within the heart. Within the heart, you will find God. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God."
Made of time tested methods, materials, and techniques:
ancient illuminated manuscript techniques, (specifically in the far corners and around quote,)
Calligraphy (quote,)
Egg Tempera (most permanent form of paint--made of pure minerals from earth with egg yolk solution. Demonstrated with gray scale flowers, green malachite and other rich colors.)
handmade water colors with Gum arabic (beautiful texture of small picture inside,)
Gilding techniques with 24kt gold and pure platinum.
