Venus in Noir

Oil and metal leaf on wood panel.

12x24x2.50"

Inky 'black star' calla lily blossoms and deep green foliage are set on a dusky golden backdrop in this alluring scene. In Roman mythology, calla lilies, or arums, were considered so beautiful that they were the envy of Venus, Goddess of Love.

The 2.25" deep sides of this original oil painting on custom wood panel are gilded with metal leaf and gleam from all angles. No frame required!
