I remember feeling anxious about putting it all out there. But at the same time I found it liberating, not to mention a boost to my self-confidence. And while I have since posed for certain parts of my figures, and I was the model for the Restraint series, I hadn't since done a full frontal nude self portrait. But then a friend suggested I do a 10th anniversary piece, and I of course started feeling anxious. But here I am, once again putting it all out there, with my </span><strong style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; outline: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="outline: 0px;">Selfie</span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">.</span></i></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><i><span class="blurb1" style="outline: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #395980; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;">There is a dominant trait of competitiveness in men who participate in sports. The very nature of it is to see who is stronger, who is faster, who has more stamina. They are always testing and gauging themselves against the next guy to see how they measure up. And while most straight men wouldn't admit it, they also compare and check out other guys in the men’s room. It simply is in their nature. Perhaps for some, they just assess the physique but you know a lot are going to take the opportunity to check out the whole package.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> </span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been awhile since my last post, but I had surgery that was supposed to be fairly minor, then ended up being a bit more complicated. Anyway I am home and mending. I've managed to do a little work on the piece I started before my operation. I'm having to take it easy, and will try to finish as many new works as I can before my show in July at the Lyman-Eyer Gallery in Provincetown. But I am behind schedule....speaking of behinds, how do you like what I've got done so far?</span></div>

They hadn't seen each other since high school, and even then they hadn't exactly been best friends. But John had always hoped that was due to a mutual attraction that neither had been bold enough to act upon. Well this weekend John was feeling bold. Stopping by Patrick's, he asked his old friend if he'd mind helping out with some yard work, and then maybe hang out after and split a cold six pack. John was thrilled when Patrick eagerly accepted with a huge grin and the hint of a devilish sparkle in his eye.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> </span></i></span></div>

There is something about the wide open space and remoteness that soothes his sole. Sometimes he strips down for a dip in the stream that cuts through the amber hills. Othertimes he lays in the bed of the truck soaking in the sun as clouds, like billowy sails, cross the big blue sky. Mostly he comes alone, though occasionally he's been known to bring one of the young farmhands, to show him the lay of the land.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> </span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another look at my current piece in progress. That dirty pile of pastel sticks, bits and pieces is typical. Sometimes I try to be more neat about it, but I just keep grabbing different colors and that's where they end up. It becomes my 'in use pile'. They're all together but I do I have constantly rummage though it to find the one I want, the one I just got done using. :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While I paint muscular fit guys, I don't usually do ones that are really 'jacked'. I did more physiques like this back when I used to do sci-fi and fantasy style pieces. Anyway, since for many guys especially gay guys gym and working out is a big part of life. And though I've done a few locker room themed paintings, until now I haven't really done one specifically about working out.</span></div>

But any bather will tell you, a soak in the tub isn't really about washing up. It's more about well being than hygiene. Throughout history the act of bathing has been ritualistic and very often a social activity. Sharing a bath with a special someone gives you time together without distractions (leave the tablet and smart phone in the other room) and it forces you into self exposure, vulnerability and intimacy. Sure, it may lead to other activities, but you can always take a shower after.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> </span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While this is only a portion of the full piece, the painting will only be of the guys from the chest up. I thought of showing more, but opted for the intimacy that focusing on the faces and the embraces provides. Plus I'm in the mood to work on larger faces. Heck the last piece I did didn't have any face unless you count a jack-o-lantern.</span></div>

I know I haven't posted in some time. But I haven't been releasing any of my new works because of an upgrade to my websites checkout process. Anyway...that is almost done. So I'll be releasing new originals and prints very soon! I wanted to share a snippet of my rough sketch for my Hallowe'en piece, since that's likely the piece I will present next. Hope ya like it. The finished piece looks really good, and a little creepy :-)Art of Breyettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07026966628735151421noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31800056.post-3113989341462091752013-07-14T21:36:00.002-04:002013-07-14T21:37:52.372-04:00on the drawing board: suds on studs in a tub<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While I have been fairly successful in my efforts to limit the number of paintings featuring men kissing (this will only be my second one in 3 years) I do have to indulge once in a while. I am also incorporating a few of my other favorites, bath tubs and soap suds!</span></div>
