Why are they always of light-skinned women laying so wantonly, exposed, and vulnerable? So I decided to take those paintings and paint everything opposite. This is a male nude. He is not exposed because he is turned away from you and also covered in sheets. It is a dark painting full of shadows and chiaroscuro. But in any case, he is just as beautiful as any of those nude girls.</p>http://www.katherinegu.com/post/269275399http://www.katherinegu.com/post/269275399Fri, 04 Dec 2009 10:31:00 -0800<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ku53xo4BTz1qa7ekeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>From my Intermediate Painting class.<br/> The 2nd Project A.<br/>Acrylic paint on canvas (18in.x36in.).<br/>No title as of now.<br/>Objective was to make two opposing pieces.</p> <p><br/>This is the image of the girl who see’s her guy on the opposite wall but is unable to reach him, all the while there are easels and chairs between them.
