I will now declare this painting complete.

'Go to the Mountain'
16" X 20"
Liquid Silk Paint, Acrylic on carved wood
 by Randy Leibowitz Dean

It took some time to find the best lighting and background to photograph this painting.  The black background allowed the carving to show on the edges and the sun behind the cloud was perfect lighting.

I used Liquid silk dying paints on this piece.  I loved the way the paints seep into the wood grain.  I also used white acrylic paint mixed with mat medium.  The piece is mostly covered with clear Poly-Acrylic.  I felt some parts should have a mat finish so parts are covered with mat medium.
