Porna Lisa: from odalisque, to jav pornalisque, to porna lisa, oil on canvas, 24 x 36″, completed today 30/01/2021.
With acknowledgements to Vincent van Gogh, especially thinking of his ‘Night Cafe’.
Henri Matisse, his interiors and odalisques; and last but not least, Francis Bacon, his ‘meat’ paintings. And, while I think about it, Rembrandt, and his ‘Slaughtered Ox’; as well as Picasso, his ‘Women of Avignon,’ and of course Leonardo da Vinci… (plus a load of other stuff too….)
I work within the tradition of Western painting and this piece is firmly situated within that tradition.
Fantastic choice of name. Porna Lisa 🤣 made me laugh mate. You’ve captured her rear view perfectly. Seriously Peter. You’re extremely talented 👍
You are a light in the dark night of the soul John… do you have any nice photos of yourself that maybe I could make an oil painting of and send it to you as a present and thanks for support? Whatever, have a great weekend !
Not sure if I take good photographs mate 🤣🤣 but I’ll have a look 👍 and thank you very much for the kind offer.
Actually, I’ve been thinking about a cover for a book I’m writing. I have a couple of ideas and was thinking about asking you for some help.
Well, no rush, I have a few things on the go… my motto is to keep busy !!
If I can help, of course!
Great. I’ll take a look for a photograph 👍
The Background brings interest to the figure.
Great work and I love the colors!
Awesome Job!
ROCK ON!!!!!
In my mind I saw a connection between the walls of this room and the interiors of Henri Matisse. Intense colour. I worked some green into the flesh to heighten the contrast between it and the red and pink of the room. Glad you approve. Cheers, Ryan!
