Doug Vetter: A Splatter of Color


An incredibly smooth, naked canvas of skin
Splashes of color, is how we'll begin
Yellow and orange, red, blue and green
Adorning his body, with a decorative sheen
With the masterpiece finished, it's time for a cloth
So that you can help Nick, wash all that paint off


In the days leading up to Easter, a favorite activity for many is decorating Easter Eggs. Blowing out the egg and carefully painting, or dipping into vibrant colors, the eggs are used to celebrate the colors of spring and themes of the holiday. It is the colors that usually catch my eye with colored eggs, especially the use of primary and secondary colors on the finish of the egg.


When I first featured Virginia photographer Doug Vetter's work with Nick Anthony last summer, (Tale Out of School) I stuck mostly to their exterior work and their shoot an an old abandoned school house. Doug had sent on an array of shots however, including this studio shoot featuring Doug using his artistic abilities, and an incredibly hot canvas, to create a colorful work of art.
