Artwork Description

Blinding Gaze

0.0 x 0.0

This 30" x 24" original acrylic painting catches a cloud sylph travelling through the sky at sundown, allowing a sliver of the brilliant rays to peek through her eye. This piece was inspired by the intense and colorful sunsets during Fall in the Pacific Northwest. On a personal note, I had several experiences in one week where I was met by the blinding gaze of the setting sun through a parting of thick, billowy clouds. Hence, this faerie just had to be conjured onto a canvas. This beauty was crafted using copious amounts of modeling paste to texture to the piece. Palette knife techniques and Impressionistic brush strokes were utilized to apply the vibrant colors for a dramatic flair to recreate my experience.
