Regal

Mixed media and Oil - 80 x 60 x 4cm  (31 x 24 in)

Regal is a part of the "Scars of Silver & Gold" series of paintings.  I got inspired  by the lyrics of Lorde's song:

    I'm a princess cut from marble,

                smoother than a storm

    And the scars that mark my body,

                      they're silver and gold

    My blood is a flood of rubies,

                         precious stones

   It keeps my veins hot,

            the fire's found a home in me…

This poem made me wonder of how every significant event in your life, every big choice, every important person you meet, leaves its own mark on you. Whether good, bad or ugly, these "scars" shape you into a person you are, they are of Silver & Gold.  I wear mine like medals.

This is an Original 24 by 31 inch mixed media oil painting on a gallery-wrapped canvas. It comes with the wiring on the back and is ready to hang, right out of the box.
