sensual stuff

Bill Proctor, 6 months ago

Lovely sensual , sexual image…!

Jaeda DeWalt, 6 months ago

I experience this as the ecstasy of being the vessel for music to travel through, for life force . . .
The sensual, sexual, spiritual and creative all coming together
and exploding into an orgasmic release of musical vibrations.
The colors electrify.

Robert O'Neill, 5 months ago

Is she having sex with a violin?

Persimmon in reply to Robert O'Neill’s comment, 4 months ago

No! And it’s not a violin…it’s a treble viola da Gamba…one day I’ll get to write a description in at the top!
Interestingly, there was no intention to make this a sexual image. The concept was simply beautiful images of the instrument in context with a figure. If there was any idea other than that it was simply the relaxation after a musical performance….but this is what showed up in the camera after the shoot! It was a surprise to all involved!

Robert O'Neill, 4 months ago

I stand corrected!! But in some ways it seems more erotic than many of the contrived pieces one sees on redbubble. I must just have a dirty mind

Persimmon in reply to Robert O'Neill’s comment, 4 months ago

I agree. (not about the dirty mind!) It is a very powerful image and far more erotic than lots of very obvious nude pictures. But apart from the power of the image I am particularly pleased with the colour, the pose and the framing. It is also interesting to see what is lost in the crop for the card. Without that mouth the picture doesn’t quite have the same energy

Carine Boustany, 4 months ago

Love the colours

Persimmon in reply to Carine Boustany’s comment, 4 months ago

thank you. yes I think the colours might be one of those “once only” things. I’d like to try them again but maybe it wouldn’t work, we’ll see!

Ellen, 4 months ago

Beautiful colors!

Persimmon in reply to Ellen’s comment, 4 months ago

thanks Ellen, I love them too. If I ever find a viola da gamba in mouse size I’ll let you know!

Ellen, 4 months ago

Oh, thanks :))

Mike Paget, 4 months ago

Wow! Gorgeous!

Persimmon in reply to Mike Paget’s comment, 4 months ago

thanks Mike did you see the new one? It’s been long enough coming apologies (theorbo dormi)

Rachel Leigh, 4 months ago

It is sexy but I also see the musician who has given her all in a performance and is trying to relax. Her relationship with her instrument is evident in her posture and hold. Very artistic.

Persimmon in reply to Rachel Leigh’s comment, 4 months ago

thank you so much for seeing that interpretation…indeed this was one of the ideas

Roy barry, 4 months ago

This image has so much latent sexuality, it really is erotically, very powerful.

I absolutely love this shot.

Persimmon in reply to Roy barry’s comment, 4 months ago

thanks roy. We will forever be trying to get that feeling again! (and we weren’t even trying for it in the first place!)

Roy barry, 4 months ago

I think that therin lies the secret!!!!

DarkHotel2, 4 months ago

love the way I feel there is a deeper hidden emotion in this shot – great work!

Persimmon in reply to DarkHotel2’s comment, 4 months ago

yes, there is. I have a secret desire to have this image on a massive billboard!

Miron Abramovici, 4 months ago

Superb! Instant fav!

Persimmon in reply to Miron Abramovici’s comment, 4 months ago

thank you. this one took quite a while to get going (a bit confronting maybe?) now everyone loves it! thanks for looking

davehiskey, 3 months ago

great shot!!!

John Hooton, 3 months ago

Tan and turquoise work really well as does this tantalising view point and the implied ecstasy of the player.

Persimmon in reply to John Hooton’s comment, 3 months ago

thanks, lovely comment, yes the colours are sooo good aren’t they?

Nancy Fischer, 3 months ago

Nelson Campbell, 2 months ago

I get a real sense of “play” – pun intended – here as well with the colours and whole ensemble.
