Salome!

This is my first figure painting from live models since art school. I've done alot of drawing in the last 15 to 20 years but not full blown painting. These professional models look familiar because they've posed for all the big studios, agencies, and schools around southern California for years. The 12 x 12 inch acrylic painting, in progress, depicts the Biblical story of Salome who danced the dance of seven veils for her stepfather King Herod in return for John the Baptist's head.
