Story / Additional InfoThe artist was working with nude models and this work is from a sketch of hers. She placed the figure at the beach, a location she is fond of. The figure in the upper right hand corner is positioned so that she hovers above, almost like a photo bomb. The artist was experimenting at this time with skin tones and the myriad colors that can be present in human flesh. This process is an example of painted collage where the artist creates a collage on the base of the work and then paints with oils on top, creating a hybrid (painted collage). It can also create a textured effect at times, as in this work.
