Naked Lady Abstract

 New painting just finished.......i think! Laura's been getting on at me to do a new one for the living room wall as I sold our last one at Artfusion. So its up for the moment but might add a few wee bits to it and varnish it. Would like to get it framed (would love to get all my paintings framed if I could afford it!).

Not the best photos as there is a metalic gold paint used which doesn't show up well in the photos.
