Inspired by the work of Annie Hammon as part of the Lifebook 2017 course.

She Owned her Curves

I wanted to convey confidence in feminine curves with this painting. We all come in such an amazing variety of sizes and shapes, all so beautiful. When I meet a woman who loves her body in all of its curvy glory, my heart sings. Let's own our curves, ladies!

In Her Own Skin

When I started this painting I sketched her body with charcoal and then went over it with gesso creating a soft gray outline. I looked at her for quite a while and couldn't help but think just how beautiful the female form is...in all its shapes and sizes. I go walking on the trails quite regularly and I marvel at all the beauty I'm witness to. I love how we are all so amazing no matter our form. I scribed my thoughts on this subject across her body and I truly felt altered. I considered having this be her finished stage, but my vision of what I'd originally set out to do kept me going and I'm so glad it did.

Jaz

I had a bit of an artistic block during this painting. It was on my easel for about two weeks. I stared at her many different times on different days and found myself walking away...until one day when it all seemed to start coming together. Love when that happens.

And a wonderful friend and fellow artist called her "Jaz" as I had reflected that I hadn't been feeling very jazzed during my block. Love that name dearly!
