New Snow Coming & 'Vase' is Available

Another new snow is coming to Roanoke. The third white blanket will sit atop the existing 6 inches remaining from last weekends carpet of white on the South Roanoke mountainside. Streets will close, children will sleigh and board, and parents will shovel. A magical time to be mountainside above Crystal Springs Village.

Studio work today after an art related trip to Charlotte on Monday through Wednesday. Harkrader procurred a new canvas (48"x36") for another floral abstract. A sketch was rendered on the canvas in preparation for the first layer of color wash.

Harkrader and the Dark Skinned Angel laid the 'Vase' painting above onto the existing 6 inch snow base outside the studio. The painting was so hot, it melted the snow and singed the sidewalk below... : ) The 48x36 mixed medium/media canvas is embedded with greek text from an antique book, collage and glass. Laying across the top of the canvas is the red vase. The red texture on the top edge of the vase rises up to 3/8" thick. An incrediable 3D effect is portrayed due to the embedded depth below the mediums and the topmost textures above. This canvas is available and it will melt ice.
