Turquesa y Cobre is painted on black Gatorboard pumiced with untinted Golden Fine Pumice Gel. She is a painting of an agave in my neighborhood that was aging. I appreciated the lower/oldest round of leaves that were becoming desiccated and dried and thus, were a different color than the living leaves of blue. I also appreciated the shapes of the leaves and their undulations. The name is simply the Spanish version of Turquoise and Copper (the background color which is emphasized with metallic/iridescent copper. Its a color combination I favor.
