"2 Nudes"
I don't normally do nude paintings, but something happened one day when I made a curved line in the middle of the canvas... I saw the outline of a breast! I thought what the heck - go for it and out of that moment came this painting. It's a fun piece and the models are no one in particular. I hope you like it; I do!
