I love to go to Popham Beach or Reid State Park and use one of the picnic tables for an outdoor studio.  This piece was created at Popham Beach State Park.  The process was that of a mono print ... painted on a piece of plexiglass and then I dropped a piece of Bristol Paper on the paint to suck it up, then enhanced as I saw fit.  I loved the texture of the dune grass and of the ocean.  There's a bit of mystery here.  The original painting is in the Collcetion of Husson College, Bangor, Maine.  I had a solo show which the docent informed me included the first ever depiction of naked women.  See second image in this post.  



"Indigo Women" was created using the same mono print technique as the view of Popham Beach.  The poses were taken from my sketchbook of life drawing images.  I happen to love the color Indigo, it is my favorite blue in all tones. As far as detailed or realistic nudes, this hardly qualifies in my mind.  They were just fun to see emerge from the paint.  Easy to accent as well.

Many products, such as posters, prints, notebooks, stickers, mugs, shirts, etc., can be found at Redbubble and Society 6.  This link will link to places where my work is available.
