Firebird Kachina
Watercolor and Acrylic on Paper - 20" x 26"
The Firebird Kachina Icon is the third in my series of Kachina Icons and unintentionally is the closest thing I have ever done to an M. C. Escher drawing. I was infatuated with metallic-based acrylics and used a lot of gold, silver and copper paint. Besides looking quite beautiful with the sheen and reflectivity changing as the light hits it from different angles, I used a lot of dimensional shading and perspective tricks so that you're not really sure which spatial dimension you're actually looking at. |
