| Interesting story with this painting. I had just finished "Unquiet" and went to present it to a a couple of friends as a wedding gift. After they opened it, another friend present that night asked if he could have a painting done. I said, sure- What would you like? I should have known he'd say "a nude" being a bachelor and all. So I agreed, and solicited (quietly) for a model. Not the easiest thing to do. I did find one person willing, but unfortunately, the drawing and subsequent painting proved too challenging. I needed a photograph so the image would never change. What we have here is a model from a tasteful magazine. I omited her head because I figured no one would be looking at her head anyway. The title translated is "Little lady of the Sea" steming from the differing shades of blue. I like this painting quite a bit. The shading isn't represented well here, but the effect is quite nice on the original, and I am proud I was able to paint such a nice butt. Painting Location: Returned to Artist, Mary Esther, FL |
