INSPIRATIONS FOR PAINTINGS

I don't plan out paintings in advance.  Every painting is inspired by the particulars of each model's body.  In these paintings of Roman and Nick you can see distinct differences.   While both were trim, Roman had really defined muscles, and Nick did not.  The paintings look different because their bodies were so different.

Nick

I respond to the model's frame, muscles, weight, skin tone, pose. Each painting will be unique.

These designs are based on the works of  Picasso, Matisse, Delacroix, Rubens, and Feininger.  I bring my knowledge of art history into my work.

Collaborations for Abstractions

The paintings I do are really collaborations.  I let the model decide on what part of their bodies they want to be painted, G rated, nude or anything in between.  I ask models if they have a color preference.  I ask for feedback from the models throughout the painting process.  I do not do a painting that could be on any model, each painting is inspired by the particulars of each model's body.

First I will photograph the full painting, and the face (if that is what you want for yourself).  Once I get the shoots you want, I will do the  close-ups photographs to get images for my Abstraction collection.
