A Devotion to Gold (2015) Original Mixed-media Painting by Phyllis Mahon

This serene image shows a young woman, eyes closed in devotion, summoning up blue and white rays from her clasped hands, which form a flower's long petals, interspersed with white dots.

Emanating from her hair is a pink warmth and energy.
She is draped in an Ultramarine blue wrap which is slipping from her shoulders, to expose one breast, around which a tendril of her hair rests like roots.

I have used mostly watercolour on the lovely textured paper, but also some gesso for her skin, graphite pencil lines to define her body and gold gouache to create a subtly shiny background.
