Done for a friend who is a model and is pregnant (baby due on first week of July). She had some photos of her taken while posing for nude class and she was so kind to let me use one of them for reference. Pose made something click in my head... it was Rembrandt's Danae. So i simply added right background and voilà :) I hope you like it, Alison :) Conte pencils + crayons on mauve Canson MiTeintes paper. 22*30 cm.

This will going to be a hard time voting again. :) I love the way you've painted this in Rembrandt's style. I'm curious what the others will do with it. I haven't even started yet. I wish I could make a beautiful painting like this.cynthia berridge 19 Jun 2006
