Golden shield

The third one of this series is a bit more of an eye catcher due to its shiny golden surface. A smooth gradient from a vibrant yellow to a warm brown gives you the impression of a slightly arched metallic, round, ancient shield with a carving or may be a painting of eccentric circles on its surface. Indeed circles are the oldest shapes carved and painted by mankind - so I can see very well this precious artifact in this artwork. Do you too? New in this series is the use of shadow as if the circles are on different layers, which adds a bit of a 3D feeling to it. Again of course the same color scheme and the same texture to give it the used look. And although my mind was quite caught by ancient times whilst creating - it still fits very well in the seventies feeling and look of the rest of the series.
