Let My Love Open The Door

6" x 6" acrylic on 3/16" wood panel

The garden gate is the "door to my heart". In addition to painting, I am an avid gardener. Pete Townshend's "Let My Love Open The Door" song was an inspiration for this piece. I have been wanting to paint this scene and others like it since our trip to see the gardens in Victoria, B.C. Canada.

ABOUT THE PAINTINGS

Nicole paints many glazes, thin, transparent layers of paint, to create visual depth and rich colors. When painting a portrait, she can use up to 30 of these transparent layers on the face. This is very time consuming but the results are worth it. Her preferred painting surface for acrylics is gessoed wood usually in the form of a 3/16" wood panel. The edges of the wood panel are painted; creating a finished look that is unique and sure to be a conversation piece. Acrylics dry almost instantly and can be shipped the same day. Your purchase will arrive unframed unless specified in the description.
