treasure chamber, oil painting, gage taylor & uriél dana

Gage Taylor and Uriél Dana rarely painted large oils. Hindsight is one of the three largest. Painted on multiple sanded coats of gesso on a surface as smooth as skin and in layers of oil glazes that create a multidimensional depth. This painting embodies every universal archetype from the East, the West, and the Middle East found in a Taylor Dana painting.

In the photos to the left, pictures show the painting without lighting.Additional Painting Information
