After painting Blofeld from YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, I was in a sci-fi state of mind. The next portrait I felt like painting Mr. Bond himself. The most challenging Bond costume to paint is probably the space suit he wears in MOONRAKER. It was a challenge all right. I never painted a costume like that before. So I tried. It was fun to try to capture the glittery foil fabric on the costume. I am particularly fond of the plain dark blue outer space background. Simple and effective. The stars were painted with the tip of a toothpick. (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas)
