Sensuality and artistry, part 2

If you haven't heard of Steve Hanks, it's very possible you've seen his works of art and not known it; a number of his paintings have been turned into posters that have sold widely. I first saw one of my favorites on the wall of a hair salon, called "A Winter's Day". I would advise the young lady not to go outside in that rig.










Put simply, Hanks is an extraordinary water color painter. He has a special way of making the watercolors look like oils. And the other thing, he can paint a lot of different subjects; he's great with kids -- but he paints truly luscious, appealing, attractive, sensual nudes.

So it is with great interest that I find two new Hanks nudes.

"Lost in the Reverie"






"Second Thoughts"










Some more examples of Hanks:

The Venus-de-Milish "After the Shower"













And he also has a Kiss:







And if you peruse his full portfolio, you have to wonder: where does he find his models??? (And can I visit there?)
