Babe Spreading Honey

Watercolor, erotic charge, and the early days of Alphachanneling

Excited to start sharing my art again. The Instagram censorship has been brutal. Kicking things off with one of my watercolors from the early days of Alphachanneling.

Babe Spreading Honey was a personally significant artistic moment for me. This little painting was made one afternoon when I first had the idea to use watercolors to explore erotic realms.

The impulse was to work as small as possible in order to take the focus away from the details and instead concentrate on the more essential feeling. How could a couple of watery drops of paint be full of erotic charge? This was the question that led me into discovering the play and pleasure in making these works.

I painted this while I was spending a few months living in a small hill town near the Mount Subasio Park outside of Assisi in Italy. A place famous for being written about in Dante’s Inferno, and the same hills which Saint Francis used to walk and commune with the divine through nature.

Special thanks to David for collecting this piece :)
