Portrait artist for nude pregnancy sought

[ChampagneLassie]

Appreciate this maybe super niche. I am loving my pregnant body and would like to get a portrait painted. I've googled / searched Instagram and there don't seem to be many artists who do naked bodies in the sort of style I like. I want something very painterly - like Lucien Freud. Any suggestions gratefully received

Stephanie Rew? Although not sure if she does commissions. Beautiful figurative painter though

Gosh they are beautiful. Going to suggest anna wimbledon who is an amazing artist and super person, or me! www.leighdraws.com/
It would be amazing to paint your changing shape

Thankyou @Tillytess @leighpaints both for suggestions... of those Leigh your work is probably closest to what Im looking for... and not a value judgement at all but I'm hoping for something much more painterly in style, like Lucien Freud. I guess I'm hoping to happen on something and go ah-ha!

I’d like to throw James Paterson into the mix. He can paint in a range of styles - not just 50’s style poster girls and I know he’s painted nudes before. He would make you look far more attractive than a Lucien Freud though 😀

I’ve picked out a few from his Instagram to show his range:

I guess thats the point its personal taste I don't want to be "beautified" I want that sort of raw painterly energy Freud has. Most portrait painters are much more delicate and very few seem to do much nude work and it is often is a bit reminiscent of a soft-focus photo shoot. James isn't at all what I was looking for but I quite like the pin-up look as something different. Thanks

I’m sure you’ll find what you’re looking for, and especially if you have a clear idea and can articulate it to the artist. It may be that most portrait artists don’t show their nudes in their previous work because the commissioner doesn’t want their painting on the internet but I get that they may appear soft porn-esque when they do 😊
