You have got some great skill in rendering bodies, and so this surprised me. You can do faces as well! This one is very beautiful, I love the sutbly of her face and well as the gradual fade out of where her body is. It is effective, though, and I believe I can tell how she is sitting although on closer examination, you may have just tricked my mind into thinking I was looking at it.

great angle it really creates a strong mood not unlike one of the erotic works of Egon Schiele.

me too he was one of the greatest and he is one that in person his work is so much stronger that he seems a different artist all together (O'keefe too). I just wanted to spend the day with them.

Yes i think photos no matter how well taken , never truly respresent amazing artwork at it's best. For that you really do need to see it in person- there's such an essence of the spirit of the artist, still resounding within an artwork up close!

indeed.
I had the opposite happen once in Vienna at the Succession Building there is a group of Klimt buona frescoe. In all the photos and prints they had cleaned them up made their colors far richer than in fact they are, do to the medium. It is really rare that frescoes have richness and certainly not like his paintings of oil. It was one of my bigger let downs as I had dreamt of seeing this series for years. But Klimt a big influence on Egon was grittier and more expressive than any of the prints and things show and the link between the two artists is easier understood upon noting this.
It is one of the rare thrills of working for museums to handle paintings and see the artists hand written notes on the backs of them or lost notes tucked in to them etc..even old price tags. I had a good time going through the books and other items of Hans Arps studio (he died near here in Ticino) talk about feeling the presence and essence of an artist!
I once saw a painting where the artist hid a second painting on the back that only the owner would know of funny.
Well enough for now
Peace
Funny how the Moonlight Sonata fits perfectly with falling snow.

Realy good pose and composition, the three sections of hair hanging down are just right in size and relation to each other

OH thank you for allowing us to use these- to me your stock is much more like artistic photography in it's own right. I love your simple use of white against your dark hair! It's beautiful and so are you!

Lovely, dreamy, sensual - I love the poem/song too how it to paints the woman, especially:
"See how the flesh
presses the skin,
It must be bursting
with secrets within, "
