Channeled Nude

[Crystal Owl]

This is what I call a channeled nude. When I first started doing this piece I had planned on a half silloute nude with a forest theme surrounding it. While I finished the outline of the nude I experienced a type of energy..... Years ago I use to do what I'd call automatic drawings. (Similar to what is known as automatic writing) Long story short I just let my guided hand draw what was given , even down to painting the colors. Please let me know what you think and how this piece makes you feel.

Hi.
This is really not my cup of tea, so my opinions are from one not "inside the circle of knowledge"...
But, I do like the flow of her figure... it seems so rhythmical, like in a dance.
I can't help but thinking flower power, 70's, Austin Powers...

My first thought on your painting was... (stunned silence)... wow! The painting has tons of energy and color, with the outline of the figure just barely containing it all.

Thanks so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it. I'm considering exploring this more :)

This one gave me a great impression at a first look :)
It gives me the feeling of showing the real person, what's inside of her... her inner world... very nice and a very good idea...

Regards...
