Paper Star

Years ago I had started a series called “Elevating the Mundane” that ran for over 30 paintings. I’ve sold most of them and didn’t look at the posts for years.

A few weeks back I happened to look back on those posts and was blown away by the beauty of the photographs I had taken of these simple paper sculptures.

So, with my increase in skill over the years I’ve set out to do the photos justice in oils. But this time I hope to propel them further with color.

Total time: 41.5 Hours
