Soul as Form is a 24" x 36" acrylic painting on stretched canvas. If this painting looks familiar you may have seen it in an earlier stage. I posted it as "Feminine Nouveau" a nude figurative painting.
There are 2 reasons I updated this painting. ...well actually 3 reasons. The first being - I like clothes. I like to paint clothes. I like the way they drape and flow and define a style. I kept coming back to the idea of flowing dresses and more color. Once I started painting the clothes I began to love the painting.
The 2nd reason for adding the clothing was the change of season. As winter started to set in, the women started to look less free and more... cold. Yes ...I am laughing. The 3rd reason for the clothing is that nude paintings are not commonly accepted in public spaces. Until I find a space that embraces nude paintings I am happy to paint figures in flowing clothes.
