The combination of copper and green in the background is just gorgeous. I had never heard of painting on copper before but I am very interested, please share more info. What sort of treatment (if any) did you give to the plate before painting? Are you concerned at all about the exposed copper oxidizing and changing color? Are you going to apply a varnish to it (maybe this would solve the problem)? Any historical precedence (that you know of) of artists painting on copper? (Just wondering how it holds up over time). Did you find it a more difficult surface to paint on? I would think it would be so slick. Does it take the paints longer to dry? Do you have more examples with different color combinations? So many questions!
I am going to be digging through my things today to see if I have any un-used copper plates from the intaglio days. Ugghh! How I have missed you copper!
