The first time I saw one I couldn't pull my eyes away. I stood there, mouth open, eyes locked, unaware of the people bustling by. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever encountered. That moment changed my art forever. This is my special ELITE size--which is 12" x 16". It is a full copper wrapped board. This piece has breathtaking sea greens and blues. Of course, there are fantastic drips and swirls in the paint. This piece definitely has alot of bang for your buck! As with all my copper paintings, nail and hammer marks are retained. This painting will change in different lighting due to the reflective qualities of the copper underneath. This painting is wired and ready to hang. The wire is fixed in such a way that the painting may be rewired to hang horizontally--or even upside down. The painting is signed and dated on the back. My work is titled based on current personal experience and the look of a piece. When a painting is purchased, I reveal the explanation of title to the owner. We are the only ones who have this information, unless the owner decides to reveal it. In this way, the owner and I have a personal connection through the painting. The winning bidder will receive a Certificate of Authenticity and an Explanation of Title. I am one of a handful of artists in the country who uses copper as a canvas. You may see many artists that use metallic paint to create a shiny effect, but I am the only artist on this site that uses this unique and amazing medium. ***Photos of Interiors May Not be to scale!!! HOW AM I ABLE TO OFFER VALUE PRICING? My response to the sluggish economy is to offer a separate line of ELITE SIZED VALUE PRICED pieces--rather than lowering the cost of my standard sizes. These pieces are smaller, but are still originals. Paintings are a little harder to find on some sites, because I am not paying for any premium or special features which cost more money. This way, I am able to pass the savings on to you. I also have changed the back of these smaller pieces--using screws to wrap the wire rather than copper “eyes”. But, as with my standard sizing, you can still adjust the wire and hang the painting horizontally, vertically, or even upside down. This keeps any investment you have in a larger piece increasing, but offers everyone a chance to own my original art.
