Allure

by Kelley Hensing

“Allure” is about the beauty and danger of life, and the peril and attraction we find in it. I’m happy with how this little painting turned out.

The snakes are painted with gold leaf and have a shine in the light. (See pic.)

The frame is vintage, I found it in a small town antique shop during a trip to Vermont. It has some minor marks which I like leaving as is. Wood with gold edge.

Art: 6.5 x 9, with frame 10 x 12
