Pink Lace Under Blue Jeans is what the title of this 12″x12″ acrylic on canvas painting is.
Originally it was to be “Pink Lace Panties Under Bluejeans,” but I thought it overly long and figured the panties part was obvious. I went with “Blue Jeans” rather than “bluejeans” because it bugs me when it is all one word even though I know some people write it out as one word.
Anyways…
This little painting is very suggestive and I really enjoyed doing it.
I painted it in a style (technique and such) that I rarely paint in anymore except when doing certain commissions that call for it.
This one wasn’t a commission, it was just for my own pleasure.
I decided to go with this more realistic painting look simply because I was working with so little subject matter and wanted it to tantalize. I didn’t think I could really get that tantalizing effect with one of my more usual expressive styles or a playful hard edged style. I was going for yum factor and my only artistic care beyond that was to make sure the composition (also because I was using such a narrow field in the subject matter department) was absolutely perfect so as not to allow easy distractions from outside the square borders and to lead the eye where I wanted. Simplicity requires thought. The more simple the idea the more important that composition is.
I also played down my colors and limited my palette for much the same reason.
Success. I love this one.

As a side note… I didn’t use a model for this one (which you all know I usually do, but I had a friends body shape in mind when I did it and it came out pretty darn sexy and very her in the body movement department. My weird brain gave me the idea of painting or drawing people I know from visualization sometime and then having them recreate the pose to see if I could successfully through my minds eye capture them. Reverse modeling kinda. If ever I get time for such a project I am thinking it would be extremely fun and challenging.
