Languor (full figure)
This is the full version of the painting discussed here.
I know this section says "no critiques" but go ahead and let me know what you think about this painting. I'm discovering that the "nude genre" has its own pitfalls, whether an artist is painting them with a view to selling them or simply as anatomy exercises to keep hanging around the studio.
"Languor"
oil on panel (ABS), 48" x 30"

Hot diggety dog! Linda!
The first thing that I love about this is that it is a contemporary painting of a contemporary woman. No flower baskets and tripping through the heather.
The mood and the skin tones are beautiful and the content thoughtful.

I also like the cool simplicity and elegance of it.
I went back to my latest nascent oeuvre and after seeing yours; mine looks like a Degas pastiche as envisioned by Mary Poppins of Shirley Temple.

I love this Linda. I went to your website to see the whole thing back when you posted the head in Unveilings. I've gone back to view it often. I really like how relaxed and comfortable the subject looks. I also really like the other seated nude you have on your site.
I am very interested in hearing about those "pitfalls" you mentioned above. Could you explain further what pits you fell into?
Thanks,
