Starry Night Revisited

Fine Art by artist Steve and Calisse Browne, Metal Memories - Description: The ability to control the copper's oxidation process to create an interpretation of Van Gough's 'Starry Night' was a challenge piece for the artists.

Flame painted copper is both an art and a science. The art is the artist negotiation with the copper to create the design the artist has in their mind. The science is understanding the oxidation process and developing a methodology that allows the artist to consistently control the color and technique for 'painting' the copper with a torch. Up to 14 colors can be achieved using only a propane/oxygen torch (no chemicals or paint).
