Voyage . 12x16 inches . 2008

Monday, July 07, 2008

(shown in artificial lighting and in total darkness.)

Ingredients: acrylic, candle wax, beach sand, crushed sea shells, glass, phosphorescent pigments, varnish, water & light on canvas.

This piece was so waxy that the paint and varnish refused to stick. It took many, many, many, many, many different attempts to make it work. After that, I had fun melting it again. Woo!

Pronounce it however you prefer, but in my mind, this is said more like the French way. Voy-ahhhhhj. Yep.

The full listing of Voyage is now on Etsy.
