Description
Lovingly housed in a handmade walnut frame and floating on top of gold gild paint, this painting is part one of a series dealing with the classic story of the femme fatal. It is inspired by classic film noir and the glamour and mystic of classic black and white movies, though my work embraces color, instead I use the wax to play into the vintage, hazy feel. The work is created using layered encaustic wax medium, found imagery from vintage french magazines dating from 1928, rice paper, gauche paint, and oil paint.
