I'd been painting Mannequin pincushions with imaginary fabrics in other paintings in this series but I'd seen a painting created by a friend, a male nude with his jeans button undone, so I created my own version for this painting!! lol!! he's a bit like a voodoo doll but then I thought some people would have a crazy sense of humour like me too - lol!!

"You make the ordinary extra ordinary, remarkable and engaging." Rosemary "I love the mysterious negatives and all the squiggly digglies!" Anita "You really capture the luminosity and the essence of how a watercolour should be painted!" Merv "The joy in your work is inspiring. You suggest rather than describe, and I feel the warmth of your personality in how the strokes are applied and the sense of wonderment. Thanks for sharing!" Richard F
