Golden Full Scroll

This is a picture of the Full Scroll done on a 2' x 1' piece of Monson, Maine, black slate stone, redone by line painting with gold paint.
Golden Full Scroll presents a striking interplay between material and design, carved meticulously from black slate sourced in Monson, Maine. Measuring 25 by 13 inches, this rectangular composition commands attention through its refined use of gold detailing, which forms a balanced, symmetrical pattern across the surface. The intricate scrollwork weaves seamlessly with lattice elements, creating a harmonious rhythm of curves and floral motifs that reference the ornate sensibilities of Baroque and Rococo aesthetics without overwhelming the stone’s natural texture.

The piece’s composition gently narrows toward one edge, producing a subtle sense of movement and focus that draws the eye inward. Encased within a frame equally rich in decoration, the artwork feels both complete and expansive, offering viewers a moment to appreciate the precision and artistry involved in rendering such complex ornamentation on a hard, enduring medium. This work stands as a testament to the enduring allure of classical architectural motifs, interpreted through a contemporary lens and executed with painstaking care.
