Body painting. A couple very lovely ladies.

Here's some more body painting show and tell with two great gals.  Both wonderful, charming, and warm and it was my treat to work with and paint on them.  The first is a friend and as she has a serious corporate job I'll skip mentioning her name and unfortunately I can't show her beautiful face either.  Oh well.  I painted a large face on her back and covered her arms, lower back and hips with some a vividly colored brush strokes.  I wasn't trying to make her necessary look like a flat painting--- just wanted to make some pretty photos.  Here she goes....

And another.

Next is a little ball of sunshine I recently met named Sashoy.  For her I was going for the painted portrait look where I wanted her to appear truly as though the entire image is a flat painting.  I made some flowers and a top out of paper to further the illusion.  There's some in progress photos after the jump so you can see all this more clearly.  I was going for a Billy Holiday-ish vibe with Sashoy.

My guy made a microphone out of the most wild array of objects: a paper towel tube, a vitamin bottle, tape, mesh, wire, and some other stuff.  Here's goes.

More in the second half of the posting.

Here's another of Sashoy.

Here she goes in progress.

A closeup of the paper flower.

Here's a peek at the top in progress.

Ahhhh...... what a cutie!  That smile is magic.

Here's one more of my lovely friend ______.  Sadly I can't show any in progress photos of her as they all involve her face.  Darn that corporate job!  :)

 

Thanks for viewing my show and tell.  Previous body painting postings can be seen here.

These pictures and your body painting of these beautiful women is truly magical to look at! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing and brilliant artwork with us. For some reason, maybe it's a woman thing :)....but looking at these pictures produced tears.

the first two pics are my all time favorites

My mouth is literally open at the awesomeness of these photos. The third through fifth pics could easily be sold as prints. Hmmm, would be a good vanity print for a celeb or anybody else really. Love it!

Wow, all I can say is wow...

These ladies look so beautiful and I'll bet they felt that way too - you are so talented and I can't wait to see what you will post next!

Wow! These paintings are amazing! You are very talented at what you do. It’s truly inspiring to see the works of other artists. I dabble in face painting myself. I started just a month ago so I’m quite new at it. I was surfing through the net the other night and I found this amazing face painting website which helps beginners Learn How To Face Paint . This site has great info. It helped me a lot. Maybe you’d like to check it out too! 

Your new postings of your art always brighten my day! Thank you :)

Your body paintings are always mindblowing -- but these Sashoy works are just...I mean...MINDBLOWING! Even the in-progress photos are, y'know...Blowing. My. Mind.

If you're ever in OC and need a model, I'd so be willing to do volunteer.
