Red-Handed

Here, I was inspired by a photo by Jhonis Martins of himself that I found on Pexels. The title couldn’t be properly translated, as it would loose it’s meaning, the closest I could think is « Pris la main dans le sac », but it doesn’t refer to the color. I incorporated genuine gold leaf and had a lot of fun with the monochromatic painting atop a complementary color background. It’s made on an unbraced birch plywood panel of 6 1/8 inches by 8 1/8 inches with genuine gold leaf and oil paint.
