I have always enjoyed the female form for it’s interesting curves and shadows…at every turn there is a soft hill or burrow. In college I volunteered as a model for many figure drawing classes. I was always struck by how professional and non-sexual posing for a class was. Afterwards, many thanked me for my time and shook my hand. No one ever checked me out or came on to me.It was so very intriguing to walk around and see the many different ways that individual artists interpreted my body. Some making me Rubenesque while others took away my curves. Larger breasts. Smaller breasts. So many styles and creative minds.

 

“Vulnerable” is a very personal piece. A woman’s back has always seemed to me to be so very sensitive, tender and exposed. My Labor of Love pieces are one of my most recognizable and collected of my styles. It was a challenge to transform a painted medium onto the computer, but the results were fantastic. Sections of my Labor of Love arrangements hand sewn to form exquisite patterns. Stone Rock’d Art was born.She is on her way to becoming one of my best sellers…..feel her vulnerability.

 

“Suspended” is my favorite from this nude series.  I love the tension and mystery in the pose. Those are actually my legs, but I was not suspended. 😉 A photographer friend photographed me laying nude on the sideboard in my dining room.  I like to use myself or willing friends as models for my work as much as possible.  I had to round out my bottom for this piece of art because pressed against the hard wood left it looking a little flat. 😉 Can you feel the tension?

Recently I decided to clean out and organize all of my clothing drawers.  When my husband came in and saw the pile of lace, satin and silk on the floor he said, “We should put those to more use.”  I do not think these images were what he had in mind. 😉  But a light bulb definitely went off in my creative mind.

Everyone has there own idea of what SEXY is.  Lingerie is usually used to entice and stimulate the desires of both men and women.  Or some people wear these delicate little gems just to feel “pretty”.  As an artist, I just see patterns, textures, shadows and lines.  So I assembled them into interesting positions and photographed them.  I added some filter work to give them a “vintage” feel.  

As I said yesterday, ugly things can be made pretty.  And pretty things can be made even more beautiful….

They say that sex sells.  I am not sure who “they” are, but I can tell you that when it comes to my art it simply isn’t true.  I mostly sell flowers, landscapes and animals.  My sexy and/or edgy pieces take second seat.  People rarely comment on them and even more rarely buy.  I know it isn’t that the work is bad.  It has to do with people’s insecurities and their fear of judgement.  Not many art collectors are brave enough to have nudes displayed as focal points in their homes.  There might be the charcoal drawing in the bedroom or maybe an abstract in a guest bathroom, but nothing that “shows” anything. Or even worse suggests anything sexual.  As a society we are still very prudish when it comes to art which is odd since T.V. and media are filled with raunchy nasty nude imagery.  Art is art.  Be proud and display it!

Yes indeed…..I am on fire!!  I visualized my dreams….I spoke of them as if they were already happening.  I believed.  And now I have exceeded them!  So in celebration I have digitally remastered one of my most popular pieces.  “Hearts On Fire”.  It has always been one of my favorites from my work.  The colors in this painting really “click” with me and the sizzling fire just gets me happy!  It used to only be available as a very small print, but now you can SET YOUR WALLS ON FIRE very large!  Enjoy!

To me pink is such a versatile color.  I have always loved it in splashes in my work or sometimes as the entire focal point.  It can be oh so sexy when seen on lips or lingerie. Or it can be cute and girly for a nursery.  It can create a soft calming feel or some serious drama.  There is no need to ever shy away from pink.  It works for both masculine and feminine energy.  It is the new red.
