Original artwork description:

I'm in love with old photos from the 70's. I think it's the particular way that they have aged. Time has tinted or fringed the image in lacy decay, lending it a rosy, sunny tone as if everything was naturally sexy and lovely.  Seventies films have thing same feeling.  I've tried to imbue this portrait of Lara Stone with that same rosy glow.  The wet lips and loosely tousled hair could very easily come from a Studio 54 or fancy holiday cocktail party and I love everything about that :)

I've included a few photos under different lighting so you can see how she looks when the light hits her from different angles.

Materials used:

oils and rose gold leaf
