History Painting

This abstract work distills a million books, documentaries, and mini-series into a tapestry of color, symbols, and impressions - all seen through the romantic murk and patina of time. I am inspired by history of the western world. Colors are luminous, velvety, rich and dark - blue, red, aqua, purple, with touches of silver metal leaf showing through on the embossed emblems. This painting is created with oil paint mixed with cold wax medium. Each color is hand-mixed and applied in layers with a trowel. Oil and cold wax lends itself to abstract work with some layers being transparent and other opaque. The layers are scraped incised lifted and manipulated to reveal the background colors to create texture and add depth and atmosphere to the painting. Oil and cold wax on archival canvas panel.
