Historic Oakland Cemetery

Last year we were hired to provide engraved pavers for the new Visitor Center at the Historic Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta. Yesterday we visited and saw the pavers installed. It is a very nice installation in front of the main entrance to the building.

The cemetery is very large and beautiful. Lots of history of Atlanta and the region there.

Feeding on Flowers

This is a gray marble tile, approximately 6″ x 6″. I engraved the hummingbird and flowers then colored them with acrylic paint. Once that painting is done I paint the engraving with a black lacquer. It’s a unique look and one I want to explore and master.

Painting with acrylic on stone is quite a different experience than applying it to paper or canvas. Since the stone is not absorbent, a first layer of paint can be wiped away by a second layer if applied too quickly. On the other hand, since the paint dries so fast, blending is often a challenge. I enjoy making these small paintings. More to come.
