The focus I was most interested in for this arm study was the slight sinking in of her hand on her lower back. I thought it was an interesting contrast with her muscular arms and her ribs showing a little, plus that look in her eye. The bend of her near arm reminds me of a grasshopper.
Do you remember the old Kung Fu television series from the 1970s and the young character's nickname?
Welcome to my Art Blog! I paint or draw most weekdays and sometimes finish a painting a day. I fondly call them my "Postcards from Paradise" because it's such a beautiful place the Lord made here for us.

Great structure shown here. You really got the physicality of this down perfectly!
FABULOUS! You nailed it!
Wonderful work, Diana...love your figurative work!
Thank you, All, for stopping by to tell me your encouraging words. It means a lot to me.
Wonderful. My favorite part is how the flesh dips in from the pressure of her hand and the cast shadow.
You are so good.
Thank you, Julie. That sinking in was my favorite too.
It is such a joy following your nudes. Wonderful pose.
Beautiful job, Diana, and not an easy pose to capture, either. Wonderfully done!
Trine and Connie, thanks so much for dropping by!
