"I was struck by the dense foliage and the cacophony of sounds that filled the air. Ancient Temples cloaked in moss, and entwined with tree roots, seemed to whisper stories of a long-forgotten past...." Guardians of the temple was created with oil paints. Layers were added over several weeks, creating an intriguing painting with texture and depth. It arrives unframed, wired and ready to hang. Because of the 1.5" depth of the gallery wrapped sides, the painting looks great unframed and framing is optional. The sides are a shade of blue from the painting. My signature is on the bottom right front and it arrives with a certificate of authenticity.
