SORROWS AND GOODBYE

Painting is acrylic on paper

Marquetry of woman is as follows:

Coffee cup: Aspen

Marquetry of cup in foreground:

To get the effect of the fading woman I used a technique developed by a man named Georges Vriz called the Vris technique. By Gluing a sheet of veneer over top of a marquetry picture and then sanding through the veneer this effect is created
