Nude Study
120cm x 91.5cm
oil on canvas

 Part of the series of paintings painted from above challenging the conventions of how we view images. For me I can rarely paint a model simply as an academic exercise in figure observation. I always see the model as a real person in a real situation. This lady is a private person and I like the discretion of this sort of pose which somehow pays respect to her. It also importantly touches on the child like vulnerability of any individual by using such a fundamental position.
