This is my wife Marie-France exercising her natural coquetry and enjoying the warm spring weather in a secluded bay not far from our house. We went to explore some newly opened walking tracks to discover more of the beauty of our island. As she was taking poses, two unheralded kayakers silently appeared from around the rocks to stumble upon the naked anatomy of one the most seductive of Waiheke's mermaids.

Daily Deviation

Given 2006-02-08
Alright boys and girls, before we start the 'nudey' flaming, let me justify why Cable bay by ~olivierduhamel is a DD. This piece is sexy, down to earth, fun and flirtacious. I think I see a bit of myself, my mother, sister, friends, everyone when I look at this. This woman seems proud to be her, and I reckon that's a lovely feeling.

Did you draw this from a photo or from observation? Either way it's a beautiful piece, I was just curious.

this is a good piece, but i think there could be more contrast to it. maybe its just due to the scanning, but i think there should be darker and lighter values in the piece.
