Skull and Rose series

I'm going to start by showing some of my older artwork. This piece is from my Skull and Rose series I did about 1 year ago. There were 6 pieces in totel all around 12"x16" give or take a few inches. They are done on water color paper with ink and watercolor paint. I had a show in 2009 with this seires at Lime XS in Denver, CO.
The piece that I choose to show is titled: "No Defence Against Eros". It was the last one I did for this series and was inspired by Bouguereau's "A Young Girl Defending Herself Against Eros". I got to see this painting in person at the Getty in LA and was struck by it. It was also a favorite painting of a lost love. Bouguereau also painted one of my mom's favorite paintings "Two Girls". She's had a print of it hanging in her house for years. All of these things led me to make my own Eros inspired painting.

I've still got some info to put up but I should be done soon. Stop back soon and I will have some of my new art up. Thanks!
