Mixed Media on wood, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

The sky from your verandah can give a light show equal to the most fabled locations. I love how the sci-fi look of modern transmission equipment seems to power the beauty of the sky, or perhaps it is the charged particles still drifting in the air from the volcano eruption in Tonga. However it happened, the sky that evening was a glistening jewell I've tried to do justice to in this large, mixed media work.

About the surface and panel: Works on panel are more durable and long lasting than works on canvas — many made in the Middle Ages and Renaissance are still admired today. This is a hand-crafted panel made of Tasmanian-hardwood cradled (braced) marine-grade plywood, and sealed on all sides with multiple coats of acrylic varnish. Italian Fabriano 100% cotton watercolour paper is then mounted with acrylic gel to provide an archival surface protected from the wood.
