Pierce Brosnan may be a magnetic screen presence, but he's also a talented painter with a keen interest and eye for abstract art.
The actor has developed quite a reputation for himself as a painter – routinely selling his work and preparing for an exhibition in Los Angeles this May.
He took to social media with his latest work, a large striking portrait covered in flames and swirls with eyes that pierce through the white canvas.
"Taking the show on the road (May 13th through May 21st)," he captioned a photograph of himself proudly posing with his work, revealing that his wife Keely Shaye was the one who took the shot.

His 22-year-old son Paris was one of the first to show their approval, leaving a comment which read: "Love this one!" while a fan enthusiastically wrote: "Terrific Pierce! You've out done yourself one more time."
Another also added: "Nice way to celebrate your big birthday." The actor will turn 70 on May 16, in the midst of his exhibition.
