This painting was inspired by the fiery colors of the sun mixed with the sparkling metallic hues that exist in its radiating light.

I began with a swirling mix of dark reds and light yellows circling out from the center. I then used a sea sponge to  add layers of depth overtop with light gold and strong copper.

 Here is a close up of the textured metallic overlay

These paintings were done as a set. They are two pinup girls painted on two 

separate canvases in alternating black and silver.

Ooh la la! ;)
