Quick Pose Nude Figure Studies

My daily painting has taken a back seat the last couple of weeks while I finished a portrait commission, and varnished paintings to send to my new gallery in North Carolina. So perhaps you'd like to see more figure drawings. These are a couple of pleasing gesture studies of short poses by our petite model.

You can find more figurative works at my DailyPainters Gallery, including additional quick poses, as well as longer poses with a more finished look.
