Love Thy Self body painting and photography

So I wanted to share what I was up to over the weekend.<br />I did my 7th body painting and photography shoot for my body art series.<br />Here are the first 3 images I released over the weekend from the shoot:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4453657988/" title="Love Thy Self by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Love Thy Self" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4053/4453657988_0861880366.jpg" width="334" /></a><br />Love Thy Self<br />(body painting and photography by Chelsea Rose<br />Model: Ana)<br /><br />I had a wonderful time working and hanging out with Ana.<br />As she was telling me about herself a heart mysteriously appeared in the middle of her chest which was quite interesting seeing that she had recently been through some heart complications.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4449836260/" title="Love thy Self by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Love thy Self" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4041/4449836260_96c6c835a0.jpg" width="353" /></a><br />Love Thy Self<br />(body painting and photography by Chelsea Rose<br />Model: Ana)<br /><br />I really enjoyed Ana's vibe in these photos. She seems to have a gentle strength to her that is both bewitching and inspirational.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4449829008/" title="body painting process with Ana by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="body painting process with Ana" height="400" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/4449829008_80f222522f.jpg" width="500"></a><br /><br />It was a bright sunny day in Portland on Saturday both i think both of us were quite satisfied to be hanging out inside the loft of <a href="http://www.truthartspace.com/">T.Ruth Art space</a> and creating art. I love this project. I enjoy getting to know my models. I view them as art collaborators. Its fascinating to talk and hear each woman's personal wisdom. I could easily say i learn a thing or two with each woman i work with on this project.<br /><br />...so thats it for now. i will be posting more photos from the shoot gradually per day for a couple weeks. So far i dont believe i have a photoshoot scheduled for this coming Saturday, so i will be working on trying to book one!<br /><br />As for Sunday it was a stay at home kind of day. I spent most of the day sitting on the couch drinking tea, watchin movies while drawing with my ink pens atop a bunch of acrylic painted wood that i had prepped on Friday. I will be taking photos of the finished illustrations very soon and they will most probably end up listed in our <a href="http://www.lucidopticlab.etsy.com/">etsy shop</a> for sale!<br /><br />Many blessings,<br />-Chelsea Rose
