Bridging Sydney Harbour _ gold leaf highlights

Ships in a roll
.
This is part of the Nautical Blue series.
.
The iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge is rendered in naïve impressionistic style in a elegant palette of dark blue, grey blues and whites ... and all the shades inbetween.
.
Accents of metallic gold leaf highlight the Harbour Bridge structure and the small silhouette of the Sydney Opera House under the bridge.
The blues have been gently layered and built up to create the surf and sky. The gold leaf embellishments change and shimmer in a change of lighting and as you walk by the canvas.
.
This artwork is unstretched and ships on a roll.
.
The total dimension of the unstretched canvas is 71 cm x 212cm - allowing an edge for stretching - the full artwork has been included as well as the artwork sized to 60x 200cm

The white, black or wood frame recommended by Bluethumb will all work for this artwork - or select canvas stretching for a clean simple elegance.
