Description
Michelle is a former partner and good friend of mine (as mentioned in my rant about the prevous painting of her, the aptly named Michelle part 2).Anyone who has an image of the female sex as frail submissive little things has obviously not known the women I have known.
Michelle is 5'11" (181 cm) tall, a veternary nurse, buddist, rave bunny, circus perfomer and recovering hardcore gym junky, amongst other things.
Here she is in all her glory, tall, strong and graceful, complete with tan line and a few wierd kinks in some of her bones and muscles from injurys sustained from 10 years of cross country horse racing, which ended more then once with her under the horse.
The only detail I have left out is is her tattoos, which I've done for reasons of keeping the colour scheme as simple as possible, although I will one day make a work including them.
Photo has been updated, looking a bit cleaner now

argh! u changed the light source! or at least, my perception of it.
but this has worked out well... definitely a new kinda lighting with it... nicely captured... i still woulda preferred u left it all in sunlight- i'd be so interested to see you do something like that... without going for traditional perfected finishing. outta ur comfort zone. nevertheless, the phrase 'you never fail to impress' is justified here
nice

Hmmmmmmmmmm well to me it was the light source I was allways working with, but its interesting slant on it from your point of view, I like my clean finishes, but mostly only because I'm still coming to terms wioth the idea I can actaully do it, and its pretty cool

this is wonderful... first of all, showing the female body in a way that expresses strength and beauty without necessarily putting sexuality at the forefront... but rather it is included as part of the whole concept and doesn't overpower the image( as i see it , anyway)..and the technique is so great, so fine, and makes her image look like its alive right on the screen, it is simply inspiring. Thank you.

Thanks for the comment!

wonderful painting, the postioning of the body on canvas is really well done, I also love the story behind it and the way you capture women not just as objects of beauty, but as powerful and alive, each with their own story, a fave
