Here are two more pieces of the puzzle to tease you with. Some feet and a waterfall. Both images are from "Snake Tamer's Ditty", my newest Monkey Love painting. (copyright 2007 Amy Crehore)

Go see the other works that lead up to this on my website: my "Little Pierrot", "Monkey Love" and "Blues Gals" series. 3 years in the making. They are the visual equivalent of Hokum music. It helps to put a hokum record on!

Here, I am showing you another piece of my newest Monkey Love painting, "Snake Tamer's Ditty". There is a lot going on, so I will show you some close-ups first and then I will show you the entire painting. Check out my website for all of the other Monkey Love works that lead up to this one, which in some ways is the culmination of the series.

Okay, I scanned some parts of the new painting. I need to scan a slide before I can show you the entire thing, but you can get an idea here. It's a horizontal painting like the "Banana Eater". I will show you the rest very soon.

More Italian Nudes

P. Conti, Nudo di giovinetta, 1933
Francesco Trombadori, Fanciulla nuda , 1933
Titian, Venus of Urbino, 1538
I love all of these Italian nudes in art history. The top two are new to me. I found them while surfing the internet. These two painters were around during Antonio Donghi's time. Conti has painted a wonderful study of red hair. Check out the position of the hands and arms on all of these paintings. All are interesting compositions.
In fact, I used this Titian image in one of my works from the early '90's that I exhibited at the Portland Art Museum. link: The Art of Amy Crehore

Nostalgia

The Three Graces by Raphael 1504
I always loved this picture of my mom (in the middle) and her sisters.
It's a classic sort of image like "The Three Graces”.
