The Friday Evening Nudes

WP and I are off to Nova Scotia this afternoon! I will see you between August 2 and 4. We will be on the Fundi Shore; no phones, no TV and a computer only for the occasional stop at an internet cafe. Can't wait to get back to Huntington Point!

Peace and love to all who visit here.

Stay cool!

The Friday Evening Nudes

Welcome to the January 8 edition of The Friday Evening Nudes. Stoke the fire and enjoy. Oh, don't forget to click the images for extra-voluptuousness.

Romaine Brooks

American

1874-1970

Bather

Zinaida Serebriakova

Ukranian

At this moment, there is only one request for a nude, from Cloudia for Gypsy, but I could not find one without clothes! ;-) Nonetheless it is a splendid painting. Rousseau is one of my favorite painters since childhood.

The Sleeping Gypsy,

Henri Rousseau

This is, after all, the Friday Evening Nudes, so here is another beauty from Rousseau

Hmmmmm... :-)

Self-Portrait as a Soldier

Ernst Ludwig Kirschner

The Spirit of the Dead

Gaugin

(oh, even the name sends tingles up my spine! ;-)

And in case you missed this in the post A Call for Nudes, this link throws a sort of feminine spin on Gaugin's women.

Gaugin's Postcards from Polynesia

The one below is not a request but a dedication to my partner; my best friend WP (you are running neck in neck with Queen Lentil Bean as a best friend. And that's saying a lot!)
You appreciate Frida more than anyone I've ever known.
I heart you.
