Mixed Media Painting, Abstract Art, "Gold Rush" by Carol Schiff, 10x10x.75" SOLD
I was feeling the need to get abstract again and wanted to experiment with some gold leaf I had in my bag of tricks.
I have to say I had lots of fun with this piece. I wanted to keep the colors fairly neutral....black, white, gray, rust. I had a piece of watercolor paper that had already been treated with a rusting technique, so the plan was to let some of that background show through. I also wanted to incorporate that gold leaf. I worked with a palette knife to get plenty of texture. All in all, I had a great time! Kind of like making mud patties when you were six....that same feeling. :)

Daily Painting | Mixed Media Abstract | Contemporary Art | Metallic Movement by Carol Schiff | 6x12x1.5" Acrylic
This is one of my favorite pieces....an abstract poured paint piece. I poured several colors of acrylic, including some metallic colors, over the canvas. Then the fun began as I tried to manipulate the canvas to help the paint flow into a pleasing design.
That probably sounds very easy, but I beg to differ. It is VERY messy and very difficult to do. When I would move the paint where I wanted it in one area, another area was destroyed! I have the utmost respect for artists, like Kimberly Conrad, who do this routinely.
The metallic gold really catches the light and makes it special.
I did two similar pieces, using the same colors.
I usually end up tossing these out, or try to use them as an under painting, as the seldom feel like successful pieces to me. It has been some time since I tried this....I think I am ready to give it another try,
