[Oil Painting, Artistic Nude], 30 by 40 in, (76 by 102 cm),
I.V. Passmoore, 1989

To refine my technique with human figures, I undertook a nude men series. Charles, a nudist friend, gladly offered his services. Here, some Grand Marnier helped him while away the time. An html rendering…

Grand Marnier was but a poor substitute for rum, his preferred drink.

Series Description: In Jersey City, I found it prohibitively expensive to employ female nude models, but males eagerly volunteered free of charge. One of my models led me to Glastonbury, CT, 2nd Roach Pond, ME, and the Adirondacks of NY.
