A young and beautiful woman drapes herself over a gold chaise lounge in a seemingly inviting and acquiescent pose- but how yielding is she really? A bottle of champagne and a pile of books, because she clearly is not only beautiful, but whip-smart and sophisticated. ⁠

Care to share a glass of champagne and discuss great literature?⁠


Boudoir II may be called something of a "boudoir painting"- a bit of campy fun for me. I find myself drawn to appropriating and playing with traditional forms of displaying the female form. ⁠I devoted a blog entry to the subject entitled "From Venus to the Pin-Up: A History of Boudoir Paintings"
