Blooming Lunges

Lunges are such wonderful postures to strengthen and release tightness in the hips and legs . They are energizing and stimulating. In this pose the model is revolving towards the back leg... reflecting the spiraling nature of the clematis vines and the wide open spirit of its beautiful flowers.  Really pleased with this one.

Peach Pie

This is not a calendar painting.   I just wanted to work on something else between photo shoots.
 I have entitled this one "Peach Pie".     Must have had a craving when I picked the reference image for this piece. Those peaches look pretty juicy.!!!

Sweet Peppers

These sweet peppers are like jewels and I think highlight the model in "pigeon pose", which, by the way, is a wonderful hip opener. Nichole is a beautiful model and expresses the spirit of this pose with graceful shapes.
