I have been trying not to reblog things and only post my original art. however, it is so rare that a contemporary artists work really moves me, and i absolutely loved these paintings. they seem to exhibit qualities similar to Gustav Kimt and Tamara Lempicka’s work, both of whom founded their careers on exalting the female form in their art.

I am doing a mural painting demonstration for the Orange County Fine Arts Association this thursday, September 27th and you are all invited!!!!
When: 6:30-9:00 P.M., Thursday, September 27th
Where: 3851 South Bear Street, Santa Ana, CA 92704
Admission: $0

We will be raffling off one my original oil paintings with the proceeds going towards scholarships for future art students! This is a great organization and the demonstration will be informative and fun! Hope to see you there!
