Twenty-fifth in the Mirage series of fine art nudes.

More exploration with backgrounds and surfaces.

I use copper engraving plates for many of my metal mirrors.  This time I peeled back the protective plastic layer which revealed a textured surface.  I polished the center, then added back some texture by smearing the surface with petroleum jelly.  I adjusted the amount of texture using rubbing alcohol in certain areas.  The background is the corner windows of the studio and the city lights of Manchester, NH.
