FIGURES OF EXPRESSION
Hang on to your hats- These are not pornographic paintings. As expression is my style, I ventured into the expression of the human form. Each one of these paintings expresses a particular emotion-Can you find it?                                                                    ---JK Michelle
A CRY IN THE DARK
This is a personal favorite of mine.  While it is a classic pose, I added a little more intensity to the emotion by giving a bright "hot pink" color to her hair in contrast to the rest of the black and white painting.  Life is full of contrasting and conflicting emotions, for me it's never just "black and white".
DECEPTION
A REAL WOMAN
This is the painting of the photograph displayed on my Home Page. I tire of the media hype featuring pre-pubescent little girls as what a woman is supposed to look like. This painting is of a 28 year-old mother, wife, and daughter. She is not a Barbie Doll; she is A Real Live Woman.
THE BEACH
This painting is in the style of a photograph negative. Hiding any faults of the figure and exposing only her expression.
OVULATION
This is my latest finished piece. It will also be the last of this series for a time.  I get mixed emotions when I look at this one, kind of a sweet sadness. It reminds me of the famous poem "Footprints". Click on the picture to see the sketch I did prior to painting it.
I painted this on a day in which I was ovulating-need I say more?
New painting coming soon! Expect it by 2/28/05
