My Favorite Artists

 Oh, man. 

This is a hard one.

My favorite artists are the masters of the human body and colors of life. Michelangelo, Peter Paul Rubens, and Kazumov with his lovely ladies in idealized clothes and idyllic city and country settings.

I love the human form. 

I love how much the human body reminds me of perfect immortal bliss.

I want to be just like those artists. But, more than that, I want to do better than they have done. I want to make paintings of rose and gold and light and red and filled with bodies of beautiful lovers who hold each other in deep, loving intimacy.

I want to make life and give birth through art.

I want to make the world MORE beautiful, rather than LESS beautiful like shitty grunge artists make it.

Let's bring hope and love and romance and intimacy into our homes with the kind of art that I love to make.

Jaunty #3 of "Twilight Kiss" collection

This painting is one of the most enjoyable paintings I made in my "Twilight Kiss" series. Notice her little smile of satisfaction and her jaunty little ponytail. This is in contrast to his quiet bulk and strength while he's holding her. I kept his face out of the painting to emphasize how warm and close they are together without making it a back-and-forth conversation.  I made their DEEP, quiet closeness even more apparent by painting deep shadows where their warm, loving bodies are touching. Her forehead is also wrinkled up a little in intensity of emotion. That makes her both contented and deeply happy with her man holding her in his reassuring strength and warmth. This painting shows so much intensity of emotion and contentment by the way her fingers are clutching at his shoulder. I really love how this painting in my "Twilight Kiss" series turned out. ~Rita Jan Gehman

Lying in My Bed

 It's 6am, and I'm self employed.  I can get up when I please. So, I'm lying in bed and thinking about an art curator I know. In my mind, I'm moving close against him, my breathe against his neck. My hand is on the center of his chest. I can feel his muscles and his heart beating under my hand. This is what occupies most of my time. I masturbate several times a day.  I love softly kissing my lips along the neck and jawline of hot men. I love painting romance... the spiritual connection between two people. I love painting that spark! between two people in love. That heat, that warmth of bodies connecting with spiritual ties. Right now, my eyes are drifting into Dreamland. I'll continue writing when I wake up. `````````````` Okay, I'm awake now. Today, I'm thinking about this first blog. What do I write about? I want this to be a researched art blog. An art blog where I learn about paintings and history as I go through my own personal art journey. However, I c...
