drawing challenge 140: NUDE

thank you for joining this NUDE-dc, dear
Carole, Sally, Barbara, Ariane, Veronica, Susan, Tania, Roberto, Céline, Tammie,
Leena, Eric, Eva, Norma, Joanne, Nadine and Kristen!

do you remember this 'drawing' i made for the 9th dc, theme 'letters of the alphabet'?
it was my 4th dc and my first nude on this site

i love to use nudes in my work, that was already at artschool and that's still the case
although you will rarely see me in a sauna or even in a swimsuit  ;^))

i do love the sun on my bare skin, especially on my neck and shoulders
and 
i like a covered nudity, that there remains room for imagination
that's what i like about the japanese kimono
the collar exposes the neck, which is a major erotic zone for the japanese,
the white face makeup runs to the back but leaves a small portion nude

so, that's what i wanted to paint
my nude neck
with the paintings of Lucian Freud and Michael Borremans in mind
and 
that i will
later

140th drawing challenge

summer has officially begun
summer holiday
sand and salt on your hot skin, a cooling breeze from the water
.... i look forward!

to get into that mood i chose this theme for the 140th drawing challenge:

de zomer is officieel begonnen
zomervakantie
zand en zout op je warme huid, een verkoelend briesje vanaf het water
.... ik kijk er naar uit!

om in die stemming te komen heb ik dit thema gekozen voor de 140ste drawing challenge:

kitchen garden 3.

 

the snow peas and broad beans bloom
the pole beans grow
we eat freshly picked lettuce and taste the difference
and i am surprised that so much beauty can quickly grow out of such small seeds



de peultjes en tuinbonen bloeien
de stokbonen groeien
we eten versgeplukte sla en proeven het verschil
en ik verbaas me erover dat uit zulke kleine zaden zo snel zoveel moois kan groeien
