I just began this new series, “Currency”, which features genuine silver, copper and 23k gold leaf incorporated into paintings of water and waterfalls. As the source of life, water is unarguably the most valuable commodity in the world. Since precious metals contain intrinsic value, it felt only natural to incorporate metal, the world’s oldest form of currency, into paintings of water, the most valuable substance on earth. The luster shine of the metal represents the sparkle and glimmer of light captured on water. Additionally, the metals, particularly gold and copper, bring some needed warmth to balance the otherwise cool color palette.
These four 8x10” paintings are the first of the “Currency” series. These are available for purchase.
