on this stairway to heaven:
secret Shangri-La.
Haiku by Olga van Dijk 2010©
I added a cheese cloth for texture
with Gesso.
Would this piece
qualify for Nira's
Challenge
Only if you've time,
Apocalyptica is a band from
Helsinki, Finland Copyright Olga van Dijk 2©1©
It's wrapped around the top and left
side (underneath) the painting. (2nd
picture)
Then I added a couple of layers
of
(workable) medium gloss varnish
to
smooth out the plies.
I cut some steps from archival matting paper.
When everything was totally dry, I spray
painted this collage with gold paint.
Then I added different colors of copper paint
for shading.
I love the effect!

love the way the "outher cloth" makes the painting "a golden eye" to viewDavid Holcombe 06 Jan 2010
Even though it is all "gold," the variations in color are wonderful. I like the little squares, which contrast nicely with the flowing of the cloth.Nira Dabush 06 Jan 2010
