"Kelp Queen" Original 36x36 Acrylic Painting


My studio is pretty much cleaned up-yeah! So am back in business.

Here is the lovely "Kelp Queen" a cold water mermaid, with a number of rockfish species swimming about her among the kelp fronds. This is an acrylic on wood and gallery wrapped canvas panels with airdry clay and fused glass accents. It is made up of 9 individual 12"x12" panels and hangs in three pieces as a triptych. It has a lot of gold, copper, bronze and irridescent colors and would look spectacular in a stairway or as a centerpiece in a living area.

Messy messy studio

Wonder why I haven't posted any new paintings? When I left for Tacoma my studio was a disaster, now it is even worse! Brandon is building new shelves and cabinets for me,and in a few days it will be much better. I will have room to paint and sculpt again... please be patient!
