Nude of the Week – Release

Release Oils on Canvas 12×12 in $300 This Painting was a surprise to me, I don’t really remember painting it. I remember it as if it was a dream- small flashes of the whole. sometimes I get in “the zone,” a lizard brain state where it feels like I have very little to do with…
