⚓ Fortune and Glory – 2025 Edition ⚓
Anchors Up, Fortune Awaits
This piece marks the beginning of my Fortune and Glory series for 2025, and let’s just say… it’s not here to play small. Bold gold, unapologetically strong, and carrying all the weight of old-world adventure. I went all in, experimenting with glossy resin, matte textures, piping details, and gilded gold leaf that practically glows against the dark, stormy backdrop.
Work in Progress.
Fortune Awaits

Canvas:
- Mont Marte Signature Canvas – Single Thick 90 x 90cm
Ah yes, the blank stage where all the magic happens! This canvas is like the eager apprentice of the art world—triple coated with acrylic titanium primer, standing tall (well, square) at 90x90cm, and made from eco-friendly cotton duck. It’s sturdy, back-stapled, and ready to handle all the creative chaos I throw at it. Bonus points for the pine frame that smells faintly of possibility (and maybe a bit of sawdust).
Primer:
- Acrylic Water-Based Industrial Paint – White
The unsung hero that lays the foundation for greatness. It’s industrial, so you know it means business. This stuff sticks like a loyal sidekick and preps the canvas for whatever wild idea comes next.
The Gold, Copper & Silver Bling:
- Mont Marte Imitation Gold Leaf
- Mont Marte Copper Leaf
- Mont Marte Imitation Silver Leaf
Who needs subtlety when you can have shimmering gold, radiant copper, and silver that shines like moonlight on a crisp night? This is the jewelry my canvas wears—delicate yet bold, just like the art itself. Applied lovingly with gilding adhesive (and probably more leaf stuck to me than the canvas).
Paint (The Real MVP):
- Mixed Media – Acrylic & Oil
Sometimes I can’t decide, so I use both. Acrylic for the vibrant punches of color and oil for the rich, buttery goodness that lingers on the canvas. It’s the art world’s version of “why not both?”
Sealers and Finishing Flair:
- Duramax Clear Lacquer Sealer (Matt Finish, 2-part Industrial Clear)
This sealer locks everything in with the grace of a museum curator, giving it that perfect matte finish that whispers “I’m classy.” - Boyle Resin Surface Sealer + Protite Gloss Resin (Activated Clear Casting and Embedding Resin)
For when I want that glassy, smooth surface that practically begs you to touch it (but don’t, seriously). This resin finish catches light like a dream and protects the piece from the curious hands of admirers.
Floating Frames are available for separate purchase.
