ABOUT THE ARTWORK

As an artist, I consider Marilyn Monroe to be one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century. With her blonde bombshell persona, she became an emblem of the era's sexual revolution and a popular sex symbol of the 1950s and 1960s. In this watercolor painting, I sought to capture her timeless beauty and sensuality in a fresh and contemporary way. Instead of using traditional line work, I allowed the paint to take center stage, using color and brushstroke to create a portrait that is as vivid and striking as the woman herself. This piece comes matted and framed in a simple black frame with a white mat, making it easy to display in any room of your home or office. The actual size of the watercolor painting is 11 x 14, but the frame is 16 x 20. I always aim to leave parts of my canvas "unfinished" to allow the viewer to use their imagination and build their own interpretation of the piece. This series is particularly special to me as I love capturing gesture lines on paper and bringing them to life with splashes of watercolor. Overall, this painting is a tribute to a true Hollywood legend and a symbol of femininity and beauty that transcends time.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida watercolorist and oil painter, Brenden Sanborn has been capturing the sensuality and beauty of the male figure for two decades. Male nude painting for Brenden is more than just placing the lines or shapes; it's a spiritual journey into expressing a much deeper realm of male sensitivity, passion, tenderness, and vulnerability. Nude male art to Brenden embodies strength, masculinity, humility, and sensuality. Brenden takes the viewer on an artful journey by capturing the subtle differences in each subject's emotions through their body language: A slight tip of the head, a strong angle of the shoulders, or a strong confident chest. Brenden tells a soul story on the paper or canvas by flirting with expressive color, through the pressure of the pen, or with the depth and width of lines. These subtleties are an accumulation of the emotion that the artist is feeling, as well as a complete reflection of the emotions that he is picking up from his subject, for these insights, come as naturally as his thoughts. Color comes instinctively with each painting, too, therefore Brenden varies his palette. He sees the color of his subjects like he sees a beautiful sunset; each painting is different and the emotion conveyed through color is completely intuitive. The painting is always an evolution of a spiritual journey to get to know the deeper, soulful man behind the alluring, erotic body.
