“The Touch of Love”

The original painting is created upon an old, reclaimed piece of wood. I used oil, cold wax, embroidery, powdered pigments, and solvents to intuitively build up the painting layer by layer.

Oh my, there is so much going on in this painting all centered around what Love is or isn’t. Love can be self-love, dangerous (as illustrated by the barbed wire), well-intended, or unconditional (to name a few types). The Touch of Love attempts to show these complexities and is from my Stories on Wood Collection.

"Printed with a professional grade printer, I use archival pigment inks on fine art paper. Therefore, do not place in direct sunlight unless framed with UV protective glass. 10” x 8” prints will fit nicely into a standard 10” x 8” frame. For the 13” x 10” prints any standard or custom frame over 14” x 11” can work with a custom sized mat."

My images are reproduced according to the scale/proportions of the original painting. Therefore, each print will have around a 1/2" white border (maybe more depending on the original proportions of the painting) on the top, sides, and bottom. The title of the painting and my studio name are printed underneath the image. Your order will arrive packaged in a protective stiff mailer.
