Energy of love

This is another painting that took longer to create and texture the canvas than it did to paint. The texture that I use really sucks up the paint and so I use linseed oil to thin out the oil paint and then glaze many layers over the base. Energy of Love as similarities to a few other of my heart paintings in size and color use. I changed it up a bit with a circular motion around the hearts and a strong use of gold paint over the higher points of the texture.
