Moonlight on the Vine
Artist

Medium
Painting - Acrylic, Molding Paste & Metallic On Gallery Canvas
Description
This most recent addition to my wine-themed series of paintings is unlike any others I have created. It started with a sketched version of the design from my knowledge of the anatomy of grape leaves. I applied a generous palette knife application of modeling paste and carved out the design while that medium was still wet. After the paste dried I added the colors to the various textures and swirled in the marble-like smoother textures in the background. Lastly I sponged on the metallic gold highlights. I knew it would be difficult for me, a novice photographer, to capture the glint of the metallic pigment. This painting has to be seen in person to do it justice. The colors and shimmering gold reminded me of moonbeams shining on the leaves, so I titled the piece Moonlight on the Vine.

I just ordered prints of some of my wine pieces here and just love the acrylic prints sandwiched in between the 1/4 inch clear acrylic and black backer board. You'd swear the prints were under glass. The clarity is unbelievable and the thickness of the glass-like acrylic gives the pieces a real substantial presence. The black backer board lends a fine black visual border. The acrylic print option is the way to go for a very sleek, contemporary look. If I order any prints to keep for myself or for gifts, I will choose the acrylic print option over any of the other options, including gallery wrapped canvas prints. I just love the novel, contemporary look it adds!
