in the nude

The local coffee+lounge place I like to go (The 806) is having a nude art show for the month of February. I've never done anything nude before, so I thought I'd try it. The boyfriend was happy to model for me.


I decided to do a paper-piecing display and I think they turned out kinda fun.
I made the man out of paper that looks like metal and used paper that has a wood grain for his penis. For the lady, I used pink snake skin paper. I had trouble with her feet, so I just gave her some stilettos to wear, and they match her mask! Her "pink parts"  are cotton fiber wrapped in a circle to simulate hair. I think the fish adds some humor (as if it was needed :) )
                                                   Let me know what you think.


If you need to see a better view, go to the 806 on 6th and Georgia here in Amarillo. I'll have these two pieces hanging up somewhere!


my two nude pieces. mixed media: paper and glue on cardboard painted in black gesso.
