Mixed Media on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.
Signed on the front.
This is an older work of mine, it's a hand stretched canvas and hand made stretcher frame
it's a Mysterious and beautiful painting with a dark and moody feeling about it,
I have used symbols to depict the 4 Elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water
The earth aspect is symbolized by the tree of life covered in lights and the earthy looking pottery
I have used a crackle medium on the vase to give the impression of a very ancient pot
the small fish, waves and yacht represent the water aspect
the air is symbolized by whirling things in the wind
and of course for fire element I have painted some wild flames
the colours in this painting are both subtle in some areas and dark in other areas
Black is the predominant colour
it has the look of a very old , traditional yet timeless work of art
I have used shellac over the whole work to give a sepia look in parts
This is a Large painting, I think it is quite captivating and alluring and
would look great on any large wall
Enjoy!
