"Garden of Hope #2"
A breast painting by Kira

This is the second painting in my "Garden of Hope" series. Each of these paintings has a floral theme and is created using a multi-step process. First, the canvas is primed and given a simple background. Next, I use traditional painting instruments (brush, palette knife, pen, etc.) with mostly acrylics to create stems, leaves, and/or anything that isn't a flower. Once that layer is dry I use my breasts and tempera to make the painting "bloom."

Title: "Garden of Hope #2"

Size/support: Tempera, acrylic, oil, enamel on 18" X 24" studio-wrapped, stretched canvas

Work date: 2008

Edges are staple-free and painted light blue - framing not required! COA included; signed and dated on the front & reverse. Finished with 2 coats of clear gloss varnish.

The paint for the flowers is applied directly to my breasts, which are then pressed onto the canvas. Each flower is created using only my breasts...yes, even the flower buds (which takes some coordination & dexterity.) In an attempt to keep this description "family friendly" I won't go into more detail, but if you have any questions go ahead and ask. This process was repeated several times, using different color combinations, until I was pleased with the final composition. This series is intended to be intimate, whimsical, and fun (and an interesting conversation piece).

This original painting consists of an array of colors (including metallics) that would go well in almost any setting. Here are some close-up views of this artwork:

This painting has sold, but other paintings from this series may be available on ebay!
