Harlequin

"Harlequin," Acrylic on Board, 30x40"

This is my first foray into gilding (fake gold) in a painting - a nod to Klimt.  It was much more time-consuming than I thought it would be and I'm not sure about the results.  It's hard to get the full effect in a photograph.  I love the figure in this one though - the flesh, especially around the head, is luminous.
