This commission came completely by accident. I was doing a painting of a woman and her husband and she had a small tattoo on her leg. This lady saw it and immediately reached out, "have you ever done a nude but make the focus on the tattoos?" I've painted plenty of nudes, but never one that focused so much attention on the tattoos. We did some live sketches and her cat, Stu, popped in and kept looking over at me, and then over at her. So I painted him in. This is a progress pic of the painting. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result. I love the way that tattoos work with a person's figure and their overall image. The body is a canvas, and I'm excited to paint something a little different than what I usually do.
