About this Piece
This is a mixed media painting made with resin, natural mussel shells and metal leaf. The edges are painted black to match. The textured surface created by the mussel shells resembles the skin of the octopus. This piece has mixed metal leaf with predominantly gold and silver ones.
This large triptych consists of three panels, measuring 20”x24” each on cradled birch wood, with 1.5" stretcher bars. It has been stamped on the back by the artist’s custom aspen leaf stamp.
This painting is unframed, but hanging hardware is attached and the edges are painted black to match (see photos) so you can hang it as is, or add a frame that suits your decor. Please use caution when handling the painting, because some of the natural shell pieces have sharp edges.
This painting is currently in British Columbia, but can also ship from California, allowing up to three weeks for delivery. Prices are in US dollars, and California residents will be charged sales tax. Read more about the shipping policies here.
