Spring in Lunsford Park

Spring in Lunsford Park is a commemorative piece, painted specifically for the 2018 Corn Hill Arts Festival, held in Rochester, NY. The painting depicts the park's gazebo, in front of which are tulips that grow each year. The artwork was painted for the festival in honor of a dear friend who lived in Rochester. He was recuperating from a bone marrow transplant, but passed away 10 days before I was scheduled to arrive. The panel was done in four layers. The first is silver leaf, applied to the panel. Then a layer of pigmented resin where I painted some of the trees and the grass. This was followed with the gazebo, which is painted with acrylics. The tulips and some additional trees were painted in the final layer.
