Original painting "Refuge" c. Antonia Lindsey, 2010.

Media: Acrylic paint, copper leaf on upcycled glass panel.
Dimensions: 18 1/4 x 14 1/4" (gallery framed)
Description: This painting is done in the European eglomise technique of reverse glass painting; literally the image is painted in reverse, looking through the glass as it is constructed. This original art by Antonia Lindsey depicts a wetlands scene in Clackamas County, Oregon.

"Refuge" was inspired by a nearby marsh, where small birds, frogs, and insects live and thrive in the early spring rains. It is a time when the stalks of plants start to glow with new color, but still retain their linear intrigue which is later obscured by dense summer foliage. It is surprising how the whole sky is held in a puddle.
