Mon Athéna Exclamation à la dorure est terminée depuis un moment. Je réalise que je ne l'ai jamais postée ici.

Hand gilded print for my good friend jennywindgeist (on bluesky)l The pictures don't do the IRL look justice, but I love adding gilding to prints of my work 🌟

Trump seems to like everything golden except the Golden Rule.

I haven't been on tumblr much because I've been painting medieval things. Again. Hope you all have been well.

On The Way To The Bookstore, a relief print altered using watercolor and gold paint

it’d be fun to make a series of prints that have cats in the window

Sgra-Snyan. Carved wood, skin, gesso, and gilding (Tibet, 14th–16th century) Along the ancient Silk Road, Central Asian trade hubs fused diverse cultural and musical practices together. This traditional lute, an example of East-West musical exchange, echoes the design of instruments played by angels in seventh-century Buddhist cave murals.

Its body features a rare double-skinned chamber design that marks an archaic transitional style connecting the Afghan robab to various Himalayan lutes. The surface shows classic Tibetan craftsmanship through its green-colored animal skins and painted ivory portraits of Buddha, enhanced with delicate gold leaf. Intricate Persian-style cartouches and palmettes decorate the back, fingerboard, and pegbox. Loc. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Dim. 109 cm H (42.94 in.)
