The Native
An American Crow, as old as time, hanging about the bushes of Crimson Tide Chrysanthemums. The mustards and the dark maroons of the Chrysanthemums make the lone Crow look like Royalty that he is.
 
An original mixed media painting on mustard handmade paper, with gouache, embroidery threads and beads . The size of the painting is approximately 5" x 7" and is mounted in a float frame. The overall size of the frame is approximately 6"x8". It comes varnished with 2 coats of Krylon Kamar spray varnish to ensure protection from sunlight over time. 
 
The frame is handmade in my home studio from pinewood and has the chrysanthemums extended on a matching background in gouache paint with two layers of Krylon spray varnish and two layers of Liquitex Matte varnish. It comes in two parts that are attached with screws on the back. If ever need be, the painting can be detached from the outer frame by removing the said screws. 
Artist's signature with the date on the side and back of the frame.
