Footsteps Down Under

Description

A GICLEE PRINT of an original artwork, depicting Australia and relevant features. My collages are in the main acrylics, but there is many many layers, starting with pasting various printed pictures randomly on the canvas, which by the time the painting is finished are only just visible.  There is much printing, stencilling and stamping to bring the painting together. Something I really enjoy finding a use for is my dried acrylic paint scrapings from my palette. In the case of this painting, the coastline is created this way, and then painted gold and then in parts has the addition of 24K gold leaf. A collage painting offers a lot of interest to the viewer; and discoveries will be found constantly.
