I've spent my life (so far) as a sculptor, but have recently decided to begin painting. The funny thing is that my sculpture was generally not very figurative, but my painting is strictly figurative. At the time that I write this, I have completed 3 original paintings (and several studies) and I'm happy to share them. My sculptural work has been reasonably high profile and I'm happy to share that stuff too, or you can just search my name online, Christian Ristow. My paintings are also on my instagram which is ckristow. I am interested in strong and beautiful women. To be perfectly honest I think women have a strength that surpasses men's, in depth and breadth, and I'm interested in portraying that in my paintings. And lastly, I'm happily married to another artist and we have a lovely (feisty!) 10 year old son.
Living in a rural part of America, as I do, it can be hard to find models suitable for the kind of paintings I want to do. I'm hopeful that this site might be a good resource for me.
Cheers!
