An iconic piece of James Bond movie props.... the golden gun used by the villain in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN. I felt the urge to paint the gun. It's not a James Bond tribute series without a few of the iconic props. Of course that also meant I had to paint Scaramanga. No question about that! First time I realized Anglo-Saxon men tend to have longer faces and long nose bridges. First time I discovered the joy of using metallic paint! That's the beginning of a personal touch on these portraits... I always try to incorporate some metallic paint in many portraits to follow. The background is a tapestry hanging on the wall in this scene in the movie. (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas)
