i like it! it's shaping up.
also i think thinking about one's purpose is awesome, so why suppress?
a question i have is-- are you working from a photo or from a real model?
for me the bra is completely secondary here-- what i enjoy mainly is the rolls of flesh-- the body as a real (not ideal) body
i know you're a fan of lucien freud, and while your emotion is a very different one here (different tones for starters, your subject looks healthy) i can see his influence on you a bit. am i high?
also, are you still painting meat? i love those meat paintings. have you done them with oils?

thank you and Rob and Suchfriends.
i m always working for a photo. usually its b&w i play and add the colors i want. i have in my head what i want to do and google for pics, need to have some sort of outline.
i have always loved lucian freud and still do, but i m looking more at jenny saville. when i first saw her and i thank this forum for that too, i thought, fuck she is painting what i want to paint (if i was painting).
both do the subjects that i m interested in.
im interested in flesh (overweight female bodies, portraits, animals, meat), but also in abstract painting, which is more serious and hard from my point of view. my goal is to be able at some point to mix the 2, but i m not dealing with that now. need to improve first.
dunno if you saw saville's recent exhibition. i was.. damn woman..she found her way to mix those 2!
yes, the plan is to go back to the meat paintings with oils this time.
when i look at those now, i m not pleased whatsoever.
