Through The Looking Glass . 2023 . Original Light Reactive Painting

Brand new painting!

Glowing in the dark.

Through The Looking Glass

2023

30x48 inches

Acrylic, strontium aluminate, crushed glass, varnish, water, and light on gallery wrapped canvas. Sides are painted black. Signed with my full name, front and back. Ready to hang as is.

I mean, and seriously, aren’t we all? (Through the looking glass.) I know for me the world is different, upside down, fragmented into weird and good and amazing and shocking ways. Plus, moving back into my classic acrylic styles is strangely a new world again, albeit one I am comfortable with. It’s nice to be comfortable and confident with something.

Currently this painting is hanging at What Ales You Taphouse and Wine Bar in Kihei on the island of Maui in Hawaii.

For now I’m leaving it there and not putting it up for sale, although it is a fine example of my work and perfect for commissions. I can do this painting in any size or color. It can be hung horizontally as well. It glows in the dark very brightly and as you can see from my reflection in one of the photos, parts of it are very, very shiny, like glass. There’s a sparkle of real glass in the circle element. When you walk past it, it twinkles at you.

It was quite pleasant to make and the bright acrylic colors lifted my mood. I hope it does the same for you!
