A Clear Sign

(The image continues around the deep 1.5" staple-free sides so you can display this beautiful piece unframed. This is a digital photo. The scans above are more accurate.)

I love this painting! It is such a unique piece. I am not sure I was able to accurately capture the vibrant colors and I assure whoever purchases this original painting you will be pleasantly surprised to find the colors are richer and blend more smoothly when viewed in person. This fun image was created specifically for one seeker out there. One of you was asking the universe to give you a sign. Here it is!

This painting has a neat dynamic composition and some lovely fine detail work and I am hopeful it will bring smiles and inspiration to your home or office.

Oh yeah! This painting has some really interesting textures happening, too.

How A Clear Sign was created..... After the black gesso primer dried, I used palette knives to apply fine artist-grade ceramic stucco to the area that would be the land. Once that textured area dried, I used wide soft brushes to lay down countless washes of transparent color. When the land and sky were filled with layered color and glowing with warm light, I finished this painting using tiny detail brushes to paint the sign.

A Clear Sign was painted on a large, fine, hand-stretched canvas. A fellow in Arizona makes these just for professional artists. It is incredibly sturdy, built on hefty kiln-dried wood that will keep your painting in proper shape for generations. The 1.5" deep staple-free sides of the canvas have been painted black providing a striking profile and allowing you to display your new painting unframed if you like.

SPECIAL NOTE: This site is gigantic. And it evolved over the course of ten years and 2,000 paintings. So far as I know, this is the largest single-artist portfolio website on the internet. Very exciting, but I am a technological boob and I maintain this site all by myself. That means there are glitches here and there. Some pages are outdated. Some formatting looks out of whack on different browsers. You get the idea. I apologize if you run into problems. PLEASE email me and tell me about 'em so I can fix them. Thank you!
