Original Oil Painting "Pleasure"

The painting in oil titled "Pleasure" was based off of an acrylic sketch that I did from a live modeling session in the summer of 2005. The colors (of both paintings) are in burnt umber and titanium white. However, when I did the larger painting in oil, I not only flipped the image, but I also added some subtle metallics to give a surprise as the light hits the art. I like the warm, almost coppery color of this composition. "Pleasure" is painted on a square gallery-wrapped canvas, with the sides painted to extend the image beyond the front plane. Framing is optional.

Pictured left is the original acrylic sketch "Andrea IV, 8 August 2005" on watercolor paper. You may view other painted sketches by clicking here.

The oil painting "Pleasure" is signed with my artist's logo on the front (lower left corner); while on the back, I signed my name and the year, along with the title of this original artwork.
