I feel it as a feminine force. This is what I like to paint. The women I paint are part of nature, life-giving and healing. I notice that most of the women I paint have bare feet. They're close to the earth, grounded, secure.
Big women exude that.
I feel women are more in tune with their feelings, more sensitive and more expressive than men. I don't, for the most part, see men as nurturing, healing forces. I admire women with substance. There should be no shame about being big. Flaunt every inch.
