This painting started as a monotype print on a Galli Press. I used oil paint left from oil painting I had recently completed. Using the Galli Press I made a number of mono types. When the oil paint dried I glued the paper to the cradle board. I built on it from there. First layers of clear encaustic and then string, paper pan pastels and many layers of paint. The brighter window areas are brushed with a gold powder and rubbed in. The heat of rubbing with my finder embosses the powder into the wax. It can then be buffed up to a high sheen. This image has not yet been buffed.
Blessings for a creative week.
