"Translucent Skin"
A hopeful touch,
greeted with a silent push,
the tension is delicious,
meet the dreaming "x"
its every porous desire revealed and consumed,
the surface longing of foreign flesh,
will trade coupled desires for countless connected threads and carefully collected feathers.
(cradle me in sleep,
the way risk eats that heart on my sleeve,
that heart that laughs at my hands,
the hands for which it beats.)
12"x12" Acrylic on Wood.

Is that colored pencil in there a little? Thanks for giving us nice big details; it's just beatiful!
aww thank you so much for the comment! to answer your question, no color pencil. the whole piece is done in acrylic only, and its all done dry brush (i never airbrush any of my work). one reason i love acrylic so much is because of its enormous flexibility. you can make it imitate so many things just by varying different elements like the amount of paint to water, amount of pressure when applying the paint etc. etc. thanks again!
Your work is just getting more and more beautiful, Nathan. I love to see how each painting features a different personality peeking underneath that colorful background. I see the colorful background and random patterns like the different emotions you express at that moment:)
