Among the Grains portrays a field mouse balanced on golden wheat, its delicate form captured in fine oil detail. The wheat was first built with texture medium to create dimensional relief before being gilded with pure copper leaf. Oil paint was layered over the metallic surface to achieve depth, warmth, and subtle highlights that shift with the light. This blend of texture, copper, and paint brings a tactile and luminous quality to the piece, emphasizing both the fragility of the subject and the richness of its environment.
