Adding The Shimmer!

I apply iridescent and metallic pigments to the panel first. This creates a subtle shimmer on the panel which glows through the image!

I created this work from photographs I took at the Kampong Tropical Botanical Garden, in Miami Florida. I wanted to share the process with you for the two panel artwork, featuring the star fruit tree at the Kampong. I prepared two wood panels with a subtle iridescent gold translucent coating. The iridescent gold undercoat causes the highlights on the fruit to shimmer in a beautiful way!
