Nature's First Green is Gold

Original art by Vanessa Sharp Multon

36 H x 36 W x 1.5 in 

Painting: Acrylic and 24 K Gold Leaf on Canvas.

This painting has a nice, thick texture that was created with a combination of brushstrokes and a palette knife. It shimmers with touches of 24 K gold leaf and iridescent paint. The painting is on a professional quality gallery wrapped canvas. The sides have been painted gray and it has a satin varnish to protect it from dust and UV rays. It has been strung with wire and is ready to hang.​

Nature’s first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf’s a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.

–Robert Frost, "Nothing Gold Can Stay"
