Goethe's Leaf (2016) Original Mixed-media Painting by Karin Goeppert

This is a work intuitively rendered and inspired by Goethe's very famous poem Ginkgo biloba. The text on the artwork reads in English: To my garden here translated, Foliage of the eastern tree.

To paint this work I used artist quality acrylic colours as well as spray paint on a Daler Rowney stretched canvas.

In the detail shots you can see the different textures of the work.
The sides are painted in the colours of the painting so the process of the work can be seen.

I added a fixture at the back of the canvas so it is ready to hang without a frame.

In inches the work is 9 x 12 x 0.6
