ZIP IT!

A contemporary mixed medium painting, absolutely SMASHING to see LIFE!

(Unfortunately a picture can never show how it looks in reality)
2nd photo: Excerpt of Louis Vuiton zipper

WHAT I DID:

I added cheese cloth, scraps of archival matte paper, sheet music and many (very thin) layers of gloss medium & varnish (which is still workable after it dries).
These layers softened the plies of the cheese cloth.

This piece has a metal, yet a very soft look.
Main color is black and gold with here and there some red and blue.

I invite you to hoover over the painting with the zoom to see the details.

Momentarily this piece is exhibited in the in the show for Art Instructors at the library of the University of Delaware, Wilmington Campus.

ZIP IT! can be hung horizontally as well as vertically.
My students said: it's either female or masculine.
