Robert was inspired by the work of Robert Mapplethorpe. The painting is created in warm browns, mostly monochromatic with very subtle metallic paints mixed in for a bit of surprise, along with a line of strong color -- a nice large painting.
Always experimenting, I decided to add something to the male torso:
I played with many different designs (such as a line of dots mirroring the curve of the figure. I tried different colors (red even), and for some reason, I preferred the blue tapering line as you see here. When the work is titled on the side, the blue made me think of a river surrounded by a landscape of swirling shapes.
