touch of gold

I'm so excited that this piece is done. Decided to top her off with some serious gold leaf. I used around 6 sheets on the canvas (well I started with 2 and then had to go back in with another 4!) because of the scale. The pieces were larger too in order maintain proportion. There's something about this artwork that makes it super dreamy. I'm not sure what it is although part of me feels like it could just be that Cobalt Violet. Its driving me crazy and might end up becoming my most favorite color. Cobalt Violet and Peach = my own little paradise. Here's the complete piece along with some detail shots and one of my favorite in situ images.
