Always Lichen

by Marilyn Peretti · Glen Ellyn, US

Nature is a subject which always draws me in. Here is an oil & cold wax painting of lichen on logs in the forest. This is a medium which I learned in more recent years, much after conquering watercolor. But there is still a way to layer and glaze which appeals to me. I like glazing one color over others and this gives a hazy, subtle, ambiguous appearance. The woods changes constantly and I believe this medium reflects those unpredictable changes. I also have come to sometimes add my version of calligraphy as a written communication. This medium is done on a cradled board, and there is no frame necessary. Cost of tax, packing and shipping is included in the price shown here. Price will be reduced if the painting is shipped within the U.S. or near me. #woods #woodsart
