Figures

 Artist Kristen Hotham Carroll has recently started a collection of figures, 52 in all, with 26 pairs of male and female counterparts.  All pieces will be named alphabetically.  The male figures start with the letter A, and the females with Z.  26 different methods will be employed for each of the pieces.  The first pairing, Adam and Zara, are below. 

Zara is 24" x 36", acrylic on board.

Adam is 24" x 36, oil on canvas.

Both were painted using a palette knife.

What do you think?

I guess I didn't realize that you had completed all the letters already, wow.

Zara is my favorite of all the nude works that you've created

No - I haven't finished the series yet. I have just completed the third pair. This will be a year long project, at the very least. I will post the other 2 pairs soon! Kristen.

Can't wait to see them all, up close & personal! Zara is very soft & sensual..... amazing how (to me) the colors alone help define male versus female.....Bravo!

Can't seem to post on here under my e-mail. Hoping letter "T" will be a tribute to me.
