March 2018, "L'envie" painting is finished

I felt like doing a sunny warm lit painting to brighten the grey winter days outside. This is a zoom from a photo that inspired me…along with a song by Johnny Hallyday of the same name. I chose a big format (3.3’ x 2.4’) to use the colors to play light against the deep dark background “qu’on me donne l’obscurité et puis la lumière” (Johnny Hallyday , 1986, Song “L’envie”…french for desire).
