Gold Leaf and Oil Paint On Canvas 
By Amanda Johnson

New from the studio!

Part of the "Gold Leaf" and "Spirit of the Palm" series, Now and Then explores the cyclical nature of time through the lens of the tropical landscape. By utilizing a gold leaf underlayer, the painting possesses an inner radiance that shifts with the light, peeking through the rich, impasto layers of oil paint.

The island in the distance serves as a mirror—a reflection of the present moment—evoking a sense of looking across the water into either the deep past or a distant future.
