Points of Eva

This was inspired by that Playboy pictorial of Eva Herzigova. I have always loved using pointillism, but previously I've used it with inks. This is my experiment using paint.

This was painted specifically for Burning Flipside, 2005, and for our theme camp. I tried to capture the Bewitched era, with cool martinis and big hair.

This was inspired by the Eva Herzigova pictorial in Playboy. The shoot was so ethereal, and I was in the mood to paint a pin-up type girl. The two meshed into one painting.

This is another take on the odalisque figures, in a more traditional sense of the term.

I really like the odalisque figures painted by nineteenth century European artists, specifically Ingres. This is my first take on that reclining figure.
