I love sunsets so a painting of a sunset would be right up my ally!

I think it depends on the person.

But i like flowers lots too.

backs - ladies backs, mens backs - ive always painted a naked back with their head tilted to one side so you get a side profile and sometimes cloth draped across them. Its nude painting but not in your face and can look as sexy or as natural as you want it to. but again, i tend to just draw and not slather it in paint.


If not, i go crazy with overlapping shapes & lines over a canvas and then painting them different tones of the same colour. I tend to do this if im giving it as a gift. If i know they have a blue bathroom, i will do it blue!! does that even make sense? I will see if i can find any pics of any examples later....


but saying that, none of my stuff is on the walls in our new place. they are all still in my parents loft. Ive not painted for ages, i plan to do a few months when i start my matt leave. get alice involved


slightly off topic, but on the subject of paintings - i have this one on the wall next to me at work :

its called private view and we have had many a discussion about what the underlying meaning is!!
