Golden Dance














Golden Dance
Seeing the extraordinary in ordinary objects such as two pears is my aim with this large painting. The simple pair of pears is elevated with a gold leaf background, to super-charge the pears’ intrinsic beauty.
The use of gold leaf was inspired by seeing icon paintings of saints on a recent trip to Italy. The subjects appear to be supporting one another, as in a dance.

The artwork has been sealed with 3 coats of professional artist varnish to stop discolouration of the Dutch metal gold leaf, and to protect it from UV light and dust.
