Painting on people

I am happy to report that I will be doing two new paintings this weekend!
One client has no idea what she wants, so we will discover that after she gets into the studio.
We can formulate an idea from almost anything. A favorite, book, hobby, occupation or locale.

The other is a cancer survivor who has been fighting it in one form or another for the last 26 years. She has just come off a round of chemo and has been given the all clear for now! Her hair is starting to grow back and she is delighted that it is coming in darker than before. We are painting her back with a sword and shield to commemorate her victory and warrior spirit.

She will be bringing a lovely pink drape to cover herself here and there. No need to be indiscreet just because you're naked! I'll let you know how it turns out.

Cheers, _ Kim

Welcome to the Nuda Veritas Blog!

Hi!
I'm John Lennox. My wife, Kimberly and I are the artists of Nuda Veritas. I hope you enjoy our work, and comment on this blog to let us know. We began doing bodypainting a few years ago, and have fallen in love with this media. It is simply amazing what can be done using the body as the canvas. The photography of this type of painting is accentuated by the models themselves, something that just is not possible photographing regular paintings or sculpture. The painting itself tells a story, and the model's body tells another one, sometimes different, yet inextricable from that of the painting. It is truly a refreshing form of photographic art.
