New on Etsy: Shine

12 x 12″
oil on canvas
Shine is a thick, decadent painting on a deep, solid frame. Cool gold, blue-black, and jewel-like chartreuse tumble across her demon skin. In low light, she seems to glow.
This was the penultimate piece in the Bee Commission, a years-long toil involving dozens of abandoned projects, and a not insubstantial number of completed ones. After I finished this incredibly grueling painting for my client and presented it to him, I realized it wasn’t really what he had been asking for in the first place. So the final Bee Commission piece came shortly thereafter, and made everyone happy. I was left with Shine, which I am now ready to sell.
This is titled “shine” in relation to a magnetic poem with the line:
shine beneath the honey garden
and watch the sea for me
A painstakingly-rendered oil painting, created over the span of a year, Shine underwent multiple incarnations in various colors and configurations. Progress photos can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eliza/sets/72157594183395035/
I know that original paintings can be pricy. I am more than willing to discuss multiple payments over time, and entertain offers.
