Today’s painting is another love your body, I think this study will have to be worked on more, attempted a few times, the proportions are still a bit off, but I love this just the same. I love how her middle roles and how she seems to be holding herself in a loving embrace, she loves her body.

This is a painting I did from an image I’ve had on my iPad for over a year, I really wanted to be able to paint it but the red sheets were so striking. Sadly I don’t have the source for the image to link to :( if you recognize it please let me know so I can fix that.
This is part of my Love Your Body series, basically celebrating the beauty of the human form. Everyone is beautiful.
I’ve got a new stylus for my iPad (months old, but new this year and I haven’t talked about it yet) its a paint brush, and I just love it. It works so well and I feel like I have better control now.
I first saw this post on tumblr by user flushedskin and knew I wanted to paint something with this as a guide.
I first worked on a study on my ipad and then tonight painting this with watercolors. I had to modify it a bit since the original photo had a hand and phone in the way, but I think I did all right. I ended up using my husband posting for me to figure out where the shoulder should be.
I love how soft this looks, like the coloring too. There is something about the human form that I just love painting.
This summer I painted this watercolor of different people and sizes swimming and having fun. I love the idea of being comfortable in your skin and enjoying summer.
This is a watercolor painting in tabloid size. Prints are available if anyone is interested. I have the original hanging in my studio now. It makes me smile every time I see it.
Tek and I did the Bike for Breath again this year. You can read all about it on chsrfm.ca Who says fat girls can’t ride bikes? Who says we can’t bike long distances, no one, right?
