Velvet Wound, 16"x24" Oil on Canvas.
What a ride, this one. So suggestive. A sword between the legs, so dangerous! But... she's so calm, comfortable, like she's been here before. This is normal for her. Her red nails are chipped, giving a worn aesthetic so such a vulnerable and sensual pose, which is wild to me. Worn. Nuts. Her middle finger is occluded by shadow, and her dress is pulled up above her knees, like she's inviting this encounter, with a caress even. I love this piece, hope you do too.
