Spectator

"Spectator"

Acrylic on wood panel, 10x12.5

As soon as cameras were invented people began using them to take pictures of nude women which were, of course, deemed pornographic and illegal. The way around that was to call them "tools" for artists so they could work without live models. Thankfully, many of these "tools" have survived the years and, thanks to the magic of the internet, are readily available. Lemme tell ya, those naughty Victorians can make a good girl blush! ;-)

Sweet Spot

"Sweet Spot"

Acrylic on canvas, 12x12

This is the portion of the human body that most distinctly differentiates women from their male counterparts, both on the outside and what goes on inside. It's also the part that women seem to be most insecure about. Too big, too small, too curvy, not curvy enough... Whatever! The sweet spot is so beautiful, so uniquely woman, that it should celebrated!

Dream of Circe

"Dream of Circe"

20x16, acrylic on canvas

I got a book about nude art in Victorian times at the library. For being such prudes they sure had a lot of nudes in art, and had a particular fondness for naked Greek goddesses! This painting was inspired by the collection held in that book. Circe is the goddess of magic who, it is said, turned men into swine. Or perhaps, as Victorian poet Augusta Webster speculated, merely removed the disguise which made them seem human in the first place.

Waiting

Share

 "Waiting" If you've been paying attention, you've probably noticed a persistent theme in much of my art: The loneliness that goes hand-in-hand with not really being alone.

This Is My Body

"This Is My Body" Willing submission. Coming before the other vulnerable, unclothed, keeling, head bowed. Letting go, giving of oneself. Placing complete trust and faith in the other. Powerful by the act of shedding power. A eucharist of self.

Self Sufficient

Share

"Self Sufficient" Do NOT make me explain this one. My mother reads this blog!

Simple Step

Share

 "Simple Step" This is another bit o' fun with simplifying the human figure. This was done on untreated wood with very thinned paints applied in layers to really allow the wood grain to come through. 

Question Of Taste

Share

"Question Of Taste" I've been experimenting with different ways of simplifying the human figure. This one was done on top of a different experiment in creating textural layered backgrounds. Once I was done experimenting, I thought it looked pretty damn decent as one finished piece. So shhhhh... I won't tell anyone this was an accident if you don't.

Alone Again

Share

 Sometimes you feel alone because you are, and sometimes you feel alone with someone right there next to you.

Mixing Bowl

Share

 "Mixing Bowl" Digging through the archives, I came across this oldie. This was inspired by a painted tile made a decade ago by a friend. So serene in her kitchen duties - a feeling I certainly can't relate to!

Repose

Share

 "Repose" This is actually a series of three framed mirrors which can be hung as a group or individually. I had these mirrors for months before actually finding the inspiration to work with them. (A common occurrence with my collection of found objects - or "flat surfaces" as I call them.) One day I just looked at them and thought to do primitive paintings of body positions wrapping around the square shapes. They're a bit different from my "typical" figural style but they've had a very positive response. Most people see them as people doing yoga, which was not at all my intention. Now that I think about it, they do rather look like a trio of yogis!
