Golden leafs

by Margot Maaskant · Breda, NL

Heavy rainfall in spring caused a lot of water in the forests, with some areas completely submerged for months. Along the edges of all that water, there was much beauty to discover, and that inspired me to create this painting. I used gold leaf and copper leaf for some leaves to make it truly shine so that you almost experience the same as when you walk past a puddle in reality. The painting is equipped with a steel hanging wire on the back and stretched on an aluminum frame, ensuring it will never warp.
