Mystic Union Revealed

 

 

When conceiving of his new painting "Mystic Union"

Mark drew from his appreciation of the works of  the French master artist William Bouguereau

Mark wanted to unite a non-corporal, amorphous, mythical cloud figure with a beautiful curvaceous woman. He wanted her skin to be almost touchable while being embraced by powerful forces of nature. The real and the unreal, united.

First the sketch, then the underpainting, followed by months of fleshing out the figures.
