TABOO by Charlie Asher

TABOO 

She draws you into her world with steely-blue eyes. Symbolism abounds. Her whole life is revealed.  Pouty lips, firm jaw, and sultry eyes wrapped in a blue cocoon, you want very much to see the magic of her metamorphosis.

Small Wonders Show - Many Faces of Barbie

Today, November 13, 2010, Procissi Cellars in conjunction with the Sutter Street Artists will host the "Small Wonders Show" at 627 Sutter Street in Historic Folsom. Come on down and check out the small wonders. The show will be on display until the end of November.

I chose to paint small portraits of Barbie. They are 12" x 12" oil on canvas. I hope you enjoy them.

Above and looking down on these little wonders is my painting, Taboo. This steely blue eyed and pout lipped woman will knock you out. She's painted 24" x 30" oil on canvas and framed in a blond birch frame.

Vogue Cover Girl 1919 - At The Beach

Vogue Cover Girl from 1919 (I call) "A Day At The Beach." I wanted to actually feel the era. The dreams, the smiles in the mirror, so to speak. Never an ugliness - stylized beauty, staring, pouting, perfect. The ladies of Vogue. This is the first one. I want to do two more. I have fancy frames already to go.

Technically, it is a simple painting. I washed the umbella area with a thin white to tone down the color; that was a first for me, and I like that technique -it's quick and it works. I worked the skin tones the most by blending reds, browns, and yellows with white. The rest is mostly color over color. I had a blast doing the painting. I hope you enjoy. Charlie

Twisted

It is all about attitude. Bringing forth the attitude, the emotional stance. When you're young you work at it, dress for it, live it.

Here she is in all her glory.

"Beauty moody defiant, radiant in her open blouse impertinence, her curled lips and sultry eyes dare you - TWISTED."
