Original artwork description:

Passion:
Golden female nudes on the exterior - a passionate man on the interior!

This is an oblong wooden box with little golden fasteners.
It was painted in my latter years in London and packed away when I moved to Lincolnshire in late 1992.
I've only recently unpacked this and the three others that I made at the time.
They've never been exhibited before so this is the first time they've been made available for sale.

The exterior is painted in a deep purple blue, sketchy nude female figures and stylised leaves in gold acrylic.
Inside the box I have painted a man whose lower belly is aflame in passion.

The whole box is varnished so giving a subtle sheen.
As well as in my studio, I have photographed it on my sitting room mantlepiece; I've tried to capture the subtle sheen of the varnish as well as the gold paint on the interior too.

Signed and titled.
Packed carefully and sent with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Materials used:

acrylic on wood, varnished
