Daily Creativity: Embrace

EmbraceAnother painting from my iPad.  This one I call embrace.  I can expect from a select few of my readers they will deem this one a bit risque.  I’ve done nudes before, and I’ve done my blob people before, but this post is a bit more formed and a bit intimate.  I like it, I don’t think it’s too out there, but I expect some might.  Art will always offend someone, and it should.  I didn’t paint this to offend, I only realized it would as I went to post it on the internet.  I often don’t see the risque nature of things I create.  A photograph of a mouth can be innocent beauty to some and pornographic to others, the same can be said for almost anything.  After getting a lot of private comments about some of my art, I only expect it with this one.

I like how the colors are red and orange, I like how they blend and make me think of fire, and warmth.  I like that they embrace is warm and the color is transferring between the forms.  I’m not sure I like how they are semi floating in space.  I tried to create a ground without getting too specific.  I didn’t want to the background to distract the eye.

Daily Creativity: Kiss

kiss_smIt’s been a few days since I’ve posted a Daily Creativity, mostly because my creative project from those days isn’t finished yet.  It’s taking a lot of time to dry in between the stages… but on to this one.  Kiss.  As Tek calls this style, my blob people.  This style I think conveys emotion of a moment, which strikes a chord with me.

Daily Creativity: Love Your Body

Love Your Body!Last night when I should have been sleeping, but couldn’t if my life depended on it, I made this.  I love the idea of the heart right in the middle of her body, her body was making the shape, I had to add it.  Love your body is an idea I can get behind.  We all are raised to hate our bodies, to worry over the imperfections and while trying to improve one’s self is always a nobel cause, hating your body or self is not.  You can love your body and still want to improve.  I love my big fat body and I push it to move more and push it to do things and change shape, but at the same time, loving it.  You may be fat, skinny, blemished, stretch marked, oddly proportioned (according to magazines that airbrush and photoshop everything), muscled, lacking muscle definition, pigeon chested, a crooked spine, a limp, other special needs, your body is wonderful because it’s yours and you should love it.

Daily Creativity: Happy Nude (NWS)

Click to see the full painting, full nude.

I painted this painting last night, based on an image I found on tumblr.  Yet now when it comes time to post online I find myself hesitating.  Not because I would classify the painting as R or even PG-13, but because other people might.  The internet can be touchy and since I have tried to keep my presence at a PG rating I wonder.  So if you’d like to see the full panting, either click the thumbnail, or look below the cut.

I like to paint my figures with non representational colors, it lets me accentuate curves, shadow and highlight better.  I chose this figure because of the smile mostly, which is interesting because painting an open mouth often looks odd to me.  The original figure is dressed (and wow does she every look awesome/hot/amazing/sexy/happy/wonderful/beautiful/lively/heathy/fantastic) but I just loved her form and as I painted her I didn’t paint clothes.  I miss painting from a live model, but thankfully the internet gives me many photo models.
