In the series LIGHT: Luna

Luna, part of the diptych "Light" found a new home
in Ithaca, the beautiful State of New York.


In the series LIGHT this is the second one: "LUNA" (Moon)
Check the first one "S O L E I L" HERE.
In total there will be 4 paintings.


The moving Moon went up the sky.
And nowhere did abide;
Softly she was going up,
And a star or two beside-
By Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772- 1834)

(12x12, 1.5 inches) 31x31x 3cm Mixed media.
I particularly like the hues of BLUE'S contrasting beautifully with
the rich luminous Golden Hue's of the Moon.


Upcoming Wednesday I'll start my class "How to make your canvases pop."
I will exclusively work with all different textures.
Here is another example.
Hover over the painting with the quick- zoom feature to see all the details and textures in this small (12x12 inches) box canvas!

MARVELLOUS!! GOLDEN BEAUTY!!

Artist Reply: Ledkker he, die complementary colors! Werkt altijd! Het is een huwelijks geschenk (4 in totaal), wat ik in augustus af moet hebben. De volgende zijn de sterren, en de vierde weet ik nog niet! A.s. vrijdag begin ik met lesgeven (2 prive studenten). Ze komen 3x 3 uur en zijn helemaal pumped. Er is nu vraag of ik ook kids les wil geven (iedere ouder ziet in zijn oogappeltje een kunstenaar!) Wie weet! Love and Light, Moi

Anneke Hut 09 Jun 2010

Wonderful blues! You make us pop from our chairs, Olga! :)) It's so full of energy, your light series! I like the circles very much, with the thick drops on it. Woo, I'm the first one here!! Haha and now I can't POD it anymore! Have a bright day, dear friend!

Artist Reply: Dank je Anneke. Ik maakte gebruik van mijn mix van gatenvuller aangelengd met elmers glue. In de grote circle heb ik crushed eierschalen gebruikt, die ik aangebracht heb met een soft gloss gel. Daarna burnt umber eroverheen en schoonvegen als het nog net niet droog is. Dan blijft het donkere achter en geeft een prachtig effect als je erover heen gaat met goud Die circles izijn van een sjabloon, waar ik dat spul op heb gesmeerd, en haal het snel weg. Daarna een beetje met je platte kant van je palet mes eroverheen "trekken" zodat er texture ontstaat.Nadat ik het met allerlei blauwen heb geschilderd, ben ik er met een "droge" grove (bristle) kwast met doorzichtig goud en koper overheen gegaan. Dat geeft dat mooie effect!
Artist Reply: O ja, die rondjes bovenaan rechts zijn buble wrap!
Artist Reply: THANKS FOR YOUR POD!! Vandaag mijn 2 studenten les gegeven (3 hours in a row) and it went well! Maandag de volgende sessie van 3 uur! Ik wens je een heerlijk weekend toe (June 16)
