This is a Boudoir piece... meant for reflection. The studio is filled with beautiful Classical notes...wafting their way around the model and drapery. Light falls languorously over all forms... soft skin, rhythmic folds of fabric...and a little 'tinkle' of the highlight on the blue bottles... 'Music' and 'Art', two lovers ....fill the space completely, taking over my mind and guiding the brush to lay down sweet notes of color ... Once an artist is overcome with being in the 'zone' ... it is addictive and one must come back for more... Painting the model from life, for me, takes me to the center of myself where I feel the strongest connection to Humanity. We are ALL vulnerable.... and when unclothed we are the same as from the beginning.
