The Original Gold Leaf Series

These paintings show my first attempts of using gold leaf in a large contemporary format and style. In these contemporary pieces I purposely do not burnish the gold leaf, I want it to have a distressed and modern look...not medieval...to go along with the texture left by the power tools I use in the process of creating the works.

Please note that these are scanned photos, so the texture is almost impossible to see. Many are still available, so please feel free to make an appointment to visit my Toronto studio.
