Transparent Amethyst

Painted for my gallery show entitled, Sacred Color, this work is meant to invoke the majesty of the gorgeous, violet-colored gemstone. The stone is part of royal collections from ancient Egypt to the British crown jewels. When I painted this, I was envisioning a sparkling, almost-landscape, of amber fields and lush, purple skies. The hint of Tourmaline at the very top is a glimpse toward a sea. But, you will see your own visions in this piece.
