Aquamarine Gemstone

My inspiration to paint this intricate oil painting was because my husband Jonas (a jeweler/graduate gemologist) bought the faceted aquamarine from an awesome stone cutter, John Dyer.  I photographed it in direct sun to show its beautiful reflections.  Painting this was soothing, yet challenging, and I had to use a very steady hand (my dental hygienist skills helped!).
