Clear or gold glass gems are applied for the leaves

The pieces are finished with a drizzle of clear epoxy resin that make it appear like water is running down the side of a wall

Phoenix and the valley of the sun are very prominent in this painting and rest just above the mountains in the center

all part of the decomposing process

The clouds and the water feature under the mountains were rendered using acid oxidized copper paint to make it patina

Five Aspen Notes At Midnight (Canvas Wrap) white Clear or gold glass gemsFive Aspen Notes At Midnight is part of a series where Michele used sheet music to create tree trunks. It all started with a stack of 1940's sheet music from an estate sale. She cut, painted and pieced the sheet music to resemble trunks. The black and white leant itself quite well to aspen and birch trees. Silver colored raised metal is applied at the horizon line as the embellishment. *Brian Five Aspen Notes At Midnight is a one of a kind hand
