For the show "Vice" I have chosen a series that I had been working on independently of this show but neatly fit the description. In all I have incorporated a wine glass into the composition of the nude. The vice in this painting is red wine as suggested by the title A beautiful and sophisticated nude woman holds a glass of red wine. She is leaning on green decorative pillows. The window behind her shows the hazy day. There is a robe draped across her lower torso. The pillows and her lingerie add to the sumptuous quality of the piece. The artwork is drawn and painted entirely by hand using only the highest grade artist materials in a traditional method: watercolor paint on 100% acid free watercolor paper. The edges of the paper were taped before painting leaving a beautiful white border around the art. This artwork would look stunning framed in a float mat.
