Nude with Roses in her Hair - sold

Oil on canvas, 10"x8"

This painting depicts beautiful dark haired seated nude woman viewed from the side. The background is a deep plum tone which contrasts nicely with the warm tones of her skin and the yellow roses in her upswept hair. I especially like this figure's graceful hands and exquisite profile. This is a sensual and elegant small nude with lovely details and rich color combinations. It was created as a study for a larger commissioned piece.

Nude Reading in Antique Bed - sold

Oil on Canvas, 10"x8"

This is a figurative painting of a lovely redhead in a charming state of deshabille, draped in a silky purple robe which slips carelessly off one shoulder. She is seated on the edge of an antique bed reading a slim volume with great concentration. Her dark red hair is complemented by the muted mossy green of the background wall while the dark Victorian headboard outlines her profile. I like the combination of sweetness and sensuality in this scene as the rich purple of the robe sets off her pale skin and the very act of reading a genuine book speaks of an earlier time.
