About the Item

A moment in time - the bikini clad women are oblivious to their surroundings - lost in an e-book, sunk into a sandy slumber, placing a towel on a chair, checking her cell phone while roving eyes catch them in their innocence. From the Artist: The first time I saw artists working from live models was at an outdoor workshop in Saugutuck Michigan, conducted by the Art Institute of Chicago. I was 14, and it made such an impression on me. Three years later, I entered a figure drawing class at the Institute. Nervous and thrilled. But wait - there is a nude male model on a riser in front of the artists. Should I turn and run? But wait - there are two nuns in the class. I’ll be OK. And so, I stayed and fell in love with figure drawing and to this day, I enjoy painting pictures of people - seminude - at the beach.

  • Nude Ascending
    By Nansi Bielanski Gallup and David C. Gallup
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    On a recent trip to the Caribbean, Nansi and David were frequently surrounded by large shoals of Palometa fish, a privilege which inspired this painting, “Nude Ascending”. The motif, a nude swimmer interacting peacefully-almost spiritually-with ocean life, has become one of the trademarks of the husband and wife collaborative duo. Nansi Bielanski Gallup & David C. Gallup are fine artists living in Southern California and in the small island...
