Finally the painting for Lent is done! The wash of purple was still wet today as I hung it up in the Falcon Heights UCC lobby.
Yesterday, I showed it to my 7 year-old son, Matthew. I was playing some jazz on the radio (Randy Newman's "Marie") and turned it off, when Matthew said, "It looks better with the music on."
(The 3x4ft painting is acrylic with silver metallic highlights on the wire, and golden metallic highlights on the wheat kernels. The clouds use white and iridescent media. I put a wash of 1 purple to 4 parts glazing medium on all areas but the cloud surrounding the wheat.)
