I do not agree with 69ShadesOfGray. I do love the melting betwen the rocs and the body, the color palette is so well suited to the subject.

Not to negatively critique you or anything, as I absolutely love your sensual renditions, but I feel I must say, hopefully as what you understand to be constructive criticism, that the differentiation between the contour of the derriere's between 'Fatigue 2' & 'Fatigue 3' are apparently drastic. I personally would have found both pieces absolutely PERFECT if there was a middle ground, so to speak. But, nonetheless, I digress, it is probably not my place to say such, to such a great artist, as yourself...

Forgive me, but I do not understand your critique. Can you be a little more precise?

No problem at all, I sure can, and still hope I am not offending, in any way whatsoever; as the perspective of others, both positive & negative, so long as constructive, is exactly what I truly desire, as to better construct my style further.
In your rendering of 'Fatigue 3', which I like better if I had to choose solely based upon the 'rear end' area, I think your curvature was just a bit to pronounced; while in a contrasted view, your depiction of 'Fatigue 2', I believe you were far too simplistic- as it appears, to me personally at least, that you never added (too much, if any) further detail to said 'posterior' region after the creation of the bodies contour.
I hope that clarifies fully, if not, please do not hesitate to ask, if you have any more questions.
P.s. - I wouldn't have said any of this to begin with, if I didn't think you were an awesomely talented artist.

I appreciate that. My choices regarding drawing and painting specific forms within a painting are often intuitive decisions coming from long experience with expression and design. My approach is more often than not a quick, subconscious one. The play of representation versus abstraction is also important to me. Thanks for your thoughts.

Wow! So eloquently worded! I might have to play with the thought of coupling time restraints & limitations on a few pieces of my artwork in the future. I have been seeing, more and more, beautiful pieces created as some type of 'speed rendering'.
Keep up the excellent work!
