Paintings of Marilyn Monroe, Candle in the Wind by Keas

Oil paintings of Marilyn Monroe
by Ron Keas

In honor of Marilyn's 86th birthday, June 1st,

"Candle in the Wind"

This very special painting is titled "Candle in the Wind". It was inspired by Elton John's song "Candle in the Wind", which he wrote about Marilyn, and later dedicated to Princess Diana. The painting was done with the Renaissance technique of over glazing, in which 10 or more layers of translucent oil paint is applied to give depth and translucence to the painting. - Ron Keas
