It was difficult getting a good photo of this, the tones are a bit orangier, richer in person. The glare is from overhead lighting, and NOT on the piece, it is sealed with a matte finish for protection. ************************************************** "The Rare Song" An Original, One of a Kind, Mixed Media Painting & Collage by Raleigh, NC Outsider Artist ~ Chrysti ~ ************************************************** This is a particularly personal piece to me, and i hope it comes to mean as much to you, as it has to me. As art is subjective, I don't like to go on too much about the meaning it has to me, it's my hope it speaks to you in it's own way. Professional paints, adhesives, and sealants were all used to create this beautiful, soothing piece. Whimsical, Hand drawn subtly sparklign elements, real dried leaves, professionally printed laser copies of vintage images, paints, inks, charcoal, and more all make up this unique piece. The text on it is from an old poetry book and reads: "And this shall be for music when noone else is near, the fine song for singing, the rare song to hear!" * Robert Louis Stevenson* ************************************************** Created on a canvas board & ready to frame.. the sides are finished, so this could also be displayed on an easel. Measures in at 8" x 10" ( So easy to mat & frane!) Matte sealed for protection. (Non-Yellowing) Colors are typically more vivid, and the detail is crisper in person. Signed, dated, fingerprinted, and titled on the back. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity with a Fingerprint I.D. ************************************************** If you find yourself drawn to this one of a kind, mini art treasure - grab it as it's the only one! ************************************************** For more information on my creating processes, the story behind my pieces & other information... see my blog ..
