Shannon Plourde's Kingdoms and Crowns

A commanding canvas by Shannon Plourde, finished in gold leaf and set within a wood frame of considered depth, *Kingdoms and Crowns* arrives as a fully resolved work of art rather than a mere decorative accent. At forty inches tall and fifty-two inches wide, its proportions lend it the quiet authority of a gallery acquisition, equally suited to anchoring a principal room or presiding over an important wall in a more intimate space. The gold leaf finish bridges the painted surface and its surround, unifying the composition with a luminous warmth that shifts beautifully across changing light.
