Alchemy in Red, Yellow, and Violet Painting

I held a piece of unrefined petrified wood, some 240 million years old, in my hand while painting this. It is not a representation of that particular shard, but a reflection of some of the ancient mystery and beauty that it contains. In this piece, I used cold wax to create soft, gauzy passages and an enamel-like medium to create contrasting glossy, organic lines. I also left passages of the birch panel surface exposed to reveal glimpses of wood grain, a reference to the natural material that transformed and inspired this work. My goal was to create a meditative push and pull experience that would facilitate some of the wonder and energized calm that I experienced while painting it, holding a piece of time.
