Description This is a piece I have been working on, screwing up, cussing at, and giving up on for over a year. I finally had a breakthrough and finished it and the accompanying one while my wife was on vacation. You can check my scraps for the original color study and some in-process pictures. I started off thinking that I was going to do a piece reminiscent of Henry Moore’s figure drawings and ended up looking to Alphonse Mucha and Patrick Nagel for inspiration before I was finished. I think these are going to be a new direction for some of my up and coming nudes. Perhaps I’ll strike a balance between this and my Pseudo-Futurist nudes.

It is about 20’x30’ on cold press Illustration board done with water color mostly and colored pencil.

I love your depiction of the "Zaftig" woman. Very creative. Have you seen the book "Zaftig The Case For Curves". Nice depictions of the bbw and plus women over the years.

Yes, that is a great book. There are also several good yahoo groups that have artists' works featured who depict full figured woman.
