Here's what I love as well. The seemingly slightly timid but oh so sensual glance. Close quarters paintings are pretty difficult to paint but a smile like that is no walk in the park either. But that's why I like this subject to paint and draw so much.
Challenges all over the place and it never bores me, not even when something goes wrong.

Actually there are 4 around the same theme already (I made 5 sketches for higher Tiers earlier and I posted another one last year, which sounds much longer ago than it really was :D ) but I'm not sure if I can post that (as it's much wilder than this) or if I would want to? I love diversity in characters, themes and moods with as a common denominator elegance, sensuality and expression. I would not want to only paint the wildest and most wicked. I like all stages of it.

Most of the time one painting does not come alone. A second one sometimes goes wrong and will not see the light of day, but more often than not one painting causes another one with about the same theme or setup. This one is no exception.
There might even be a third but I'm not sure yet. I try to be spontaneous with it. I don't want it to be a chore.
Here's the third of the year! So far so good 😁

Happy New Year Guys and Gals.
I know this does not make real sense, especially the completely uncovered version, but it is a fantasy and I thought it would make an awesomely good start of 2021 nonetheless.
Am I wrong?.........

Fireworks were not allowed this year, to not burden ER's extra (I have pets so I'm a big fan of a permanent ban), but I'm allowed to paint it and then some :D
HAPPY NEW YEAR, PATRONS!! YOU ARE MUCH APPRECIATED AND THE YEAR HAS ONLY JUST STARTED! May all that's good come to you and yours this year. Sort of like that refill on the second image but much more :D
Two versions for you because it should be special, but the last two are the best of course ;...

I wish you all a wonderful and happy New Year! Have fun, keep it safe nonetheless and enjoy the fact that 2020 was a misfire for most of us but finally ends in just a few hours. 2021 will need time to grow into something (hopefully much, much) better, because it can't immediately be better at midnight already, of course, but lets be hopeful that it will and have a toast on that premise tonight.
Happy New Year to you and yours!

Just to get in that mood already. There will be another one when the time comes :D I'm not sure which one of the two will be better.
Any New Year's resolutions out there? I had one for 2020. I wanted to do an actual oil painting. I didn't do anything with that though. Covid 19 happened, which has totally messed up everything for everybody and I didn't want to add to it with making a mess in my studio. Lets see if I get to it the upcoming year. I made ...

Did a Dancer once that wasn't really build like one might expect. It was actually a commission but the client bailed mid-commission and is never heard from again. I liked the idea and the type of woman I painted though (only by description not reference) and finished a greyscale version anyway. Now I redid the whole thing and added to it too.
In the second version for Patrons here I added an inlay with the original image I made back then. I like this one MUCH better though and not...

This is a remake of the Sitting Back painting of which I made a high speed creation video back in the days. This has turned out completely different and she's wearing latex too which was not the case in the original. I like it more because I think details have improved massively but I'm not quite sure if anyone else is aware or appreciates it, because the whole image has been overhauled and may be missing details now that people used to love.

I will seriously try to paint the first sketch (with a shot of 2021) before this freaky year is over. Or perhaps I will yet get another idea, sprouting from that one.
It probably depicts how everybody feels about 2020 by now. We're almost there, hang in there people! Enjoy these last days despite the restrictions and keep yours and yourself safe.
And for all of appropriate age; sanitise everything, not only external but internal too. There are some quite nice bever...

I liked this idea :D It was kind of weird to paint though because it could be mistaken for envy, but that is not why I painted it at all. I just thought it is a pretty good way to depict reality. I'm not jealous about it. Why would I? Different worlds. I hesitated about keeping the notifications in, but as it was in the sketch (posted earlier for higher Tiers) I kept it anyway. I removed them in the version where she does not wear the robe anymore, though, just because it would di...
