Forrest Greenslade "Life Unfolding Forest" 12-18-12

"Life Unfolding Forest"
Forrest Greenslade
Mixed Media, 12 x 16
$300

          This luscious painting by Forrest Greenslade is made in a very unusual way.  Forrest built a design on the canvas in plastic cement, then covered the piece in metal flake.  The brilliant blues & greens & bronze colors in the "painting" in this case are not "paint" but patinas grown from the metal flake.  It seems that this unfolding forest itself actually grew from the canvas rather than being placed on top of it!
