Not everyone likes Joe Phillips' very stylized art. But I personally love his work...
Although yes, the subjects are always buff and beautiful, if you look closely you see a story with much deeper meaning being told.
In this work, we have a committed married couple (notice the wedding ring on the hand above the hip). This couple has a life and a history together, they are in "their" home (see the photo on the wall behind them) and their pets are an important part of their family (the dog is in the photo on the wall too). And of course, they are celebrating their love for one another as all married couples do at Christmas - with a kiss under the mistletoe. A beautiful painting that reflects on the beauty of love and married life...
