Tango til you drop

I've done two more tango paintings this week to add to my collection. The first one is called "Red tango dress" and features a couple dancing, she looking coy but aroused, with her lipsticked mouth open in passion, his face unseen under the hat, but his gaze focused on her, as he lifts her left arm high into the air, and swirls her around. The reason I like this image so much is the way the woman is lifting her right leg up to half wrap around the man's waist. The way the darkness between her open thigh disappears into the black of his jacket pulls the painting and the couple together, and makes the image more erotic. All their lower limbs lead the eye through the painting to that tantalising dark area. Her scarlet dress is flowing with the dance as he leads her from the light into the dark. And as usual I've used splatter to emulate the fast movements of the dancers.

The second painting, also a watercolour, is called "Tangoed" and shows a typical tango pose, an arched back and out-stretched leg for the woman, as she curls her left leg around the mans thigh, her head thrown back, her right arm straight as the man grips her hand, he dips her body to the ground, and firmly holds her waist. Again, their lower limbs are leading the eye to her groin area, that scintillating glimpse of upper thigh on show, the folds in the dress leading the eye to it and adding to the erotic-ness of the image. Again the splatter is used to show the movement in their bodies, without it the painting would look very static and boring. But the splatter shows that he's just moved his raised elbow, his head has jerked forward , and he's stamped his left foot down hard whilst she has just jerked her elbow, moved her legs and thrown her head back, causing her hair to swing behind her.

Plumbing jobs

I've just had the plumber around for a small but annoying plumbing job, he made a comment about one of the drawings I have on my bathroom wall, since it was sexual, and I'd done it. He knows full well I do erotic art. He laughed, shook his head and asked if I'd got any other pictures that weren't of blow jobs. Sure I have! and showed him some more erotic art. He laughed again and said if I could find someone to give him a blowjob he'd come and pose for me. "Ok" I said, "Are you serious?" "No, I'm not!", he said quite emphatically. Then....... just as he was leaving he said..... "This woman, who'd give me a blow job, is she nice, how old is she? or is it a man?" I laughed and said I could find him all three if he wanted - a man, if that was his choice, or a woman? Then I said he was a tart as I bet if I said the woman was in her fifties, overweight and had no teeth he'd say no. "Oh, I don't mind the no teeth bit" he said laughing again. "But", I said, "If I was to tell you she was eighteen, blonde and gorgeous, you'll be interested!" He replied "If you can find anyone like that I'll pose for you, every week, for a year!!!" ........... So, it looks like I've got a new model, anyone interested in joining him??

Jam and naked women

Why is it that I've been painting for years, have had a website for over five years but its only since I've told people I'm an erotic artist that their interest in me has manifested itself? Mmmm.... I wonder why! So last Saturday night whilst I'm standing chatting to friends in the pub, someone introduced me to a new face and was told that I'm an erotic artist. "Really?" she said, here we go, I thought, what's coming next and was totally unprepared for the question "Will you come and talk to the W.I?" - "What? Are you serious?" I asked and she agreed she was indeed!! "But I thought the W.I were all jam and Jerusalem, knitting and pretty flower arrangements, won't my subject matter curl the hair of the blue rinse brigade?" Apparently not! This particular group are easy going, very broad-minded and good fun and I've been booked to appear, to chat and tell them what I get up to.............. I can't wait!!!!!
