Red Velvet on Gold
6 in. x 6 in., acrylic and metallic paint on gallery-wrapped canvas
$100 unframed (no frame needed)
The holiday season is the perfect time to make use of metallic acrylic paints, and about halfway through this little poinsettia study I decided to cut some bright gold metallic into the background around the bright, velvety red bracts. Did you know that poinsettias don't actually have true petals? Those red things that look like leaves are actually, well... leaves. The flowers are actually those tiny little yellow doodads clustered in the centers. I hope you like the festive gold against the soft, layered reds. This piece could brighten a mantel, a bookcase or a wall where the light can play on the metallic gold during the Christmas season.
