Diptychs are such nice forms.
This duo has a subtle and playful
mixture of texture and color.
There's warmth and richness of the
colors and a delicate balance of textures.
Although the work is small, it gives a
monumental landscape feel.
To see more of my small duo paintings
in the series Red
Mountain,
please visit my
diptych
gallery.
'The Snowman,
Walking
in
the Air',
by
George
Winston.
Art continues on the sides.
(Top, bottom and middle sides are
painted in matte black.)
Doesn't need a
frame.
Mixed media used:
caparol binder (resin binder glue),
soft wood shavings (excelsior), crushed
egg
shells,
silk, cheese cloth.
All worked in
with
different mediums (Liquitex, Golden
only) to conserve the
pieces.
