Two Paintings

I did these oil paintings a couple of years ago .. in a class, and my son asked to have them for his house in Sydney. I asked if we could try some draped nudes in our life class, and we all really enjoyed the interplay of texture and pattern with the model. The photo of Zalia is a bit blurry, but I can't find a clearer one.

Wow - these are really absolutely beautiful! You have got the skin and fabric textures so well, and the shapes of hands, legs, and shadows - lovely. John is smart to snap those up... and I wanted to snap one of your paintings up too, but forgot to ask again... argh! I so enjoyed seeing all your work, you have the gift too!

These are lovely, Viv. The colours and the relaxed mood of the painting.
