Just finished


"Protected"
24" x 36"  oil

I just finished this one.  I like how it turned out.  I have a thing for goggles, gas masks and really anything with metal or chrome against your face!
I love the contrast of soft colorful flesh against something machined and masculine.
I've always loved contrast......high contrast black and white photography was where it started in my tender, teen years.  Then contrast with color....now I love contrast of color and subject matter next to each other.

Besides.....you just have to admit it....gas masks are so cool!  They're very symbolic to me.

Thank you for looking!
