Karla's Rise

This neutral landscape of gold, off white, grey, beige, soft brown, silver and charcoal showcases a soft rolling mountain scene.

The mountains are highly textured and layered with delicate washes of paint. The gold leaf and gold paint creates warmth. There is also silver paint and silver leaf in the lower left corner.
Metallic paint will look different under different lighting - I have taken the main image in a neutral lighting- the closeups are at different angles to showcase the shimmering metallic.
I have uploaded the maximum detail images allowable - if you require additional images please contact me.

This artwork is created on a wood panel, it has a 2cm edge and is lightweight.
Ready to hang.
Acrylic, charcoal, gold leaf, silver leaf, metallic paint and texture

FRAMING SUGGESTION - If you are looking at framing - a natural oak frame is suggested ( see included image). A white frame on a white/off white wall would create a floating image and a dark frame on a light colour/white wall will give the artwork a definite edge.

There are similar pieces in this series.
