Amethyst World

My painter friends and I used to do an open air figure session every year. I wish it could go all summer, giving us a chance to do some serious outdoor nudes. There are few motifs that can compare with it.

This pose is from 2012. I’ve noodled with it here and there in the years since.

The model noticed that I’d underpainted the picture using violet. You can see traces of this here and there, most noticeably in the upper left corner. She called the picture Amethyst World. Sounds good to me.
