About the artwork

I was looking for inspiration when I was told about a Playboy shoot with Candice Boucher, a South African model from Cape Town, in the Massai Mara. A quick Google search turned up a range of images. This one was the most enticing. For years I had blanked out the faces of the nudes I painted. I started thinking that it might be perceived that I can't paint faces. She was so beautiful, I couldn't leave it out. Special thanks to Candice, Playboy and their photographer.
