This is primarily a finger-painting.  This painting is too large to scan in it's entirety, so the first and last images are digital photos.  Unfortunately, we were unable to eliminate all of the glare from the flash.  The detailed scans below give a more accurate view of the actual colors and textures involved.

Acrylic finger-painting on stretched canvas

10" x 20" x 1.25"

The words in this piece read, "No sudden flash of brilliance.  No genius.  Only a soft glimmer and a lifetime of practice."

This piece is primarily a finger-painting, but a small brush was used to add the words and to enhance the details.
