Jack Vettriano speaks...

I've randomly come across this contemporary artist and have instantly become fascinated with a lot of his paintings for so many reasons.  Most are based from the film noir era which is a style that emphasized cynical attitude and passionate motivation. Can we say burning desire?!?

  It's hard to pick a favorite, but today, this one is mine.... because it depicts extreme passion and yearning on the man's behalf while the woman is cautiously accepting (well in my opinion).
