Naturist art by Henry Yuen

A gallery of watercolors, silkscreened prints, and stenciled prints depicting naturist resorts, clothes optional beaches, and hot springs

Thank you for your support and interest in my art. The inspiration for my watercolors and silkscreened prints are from sketches that I made on location. I am always happy to show people my sketches when they see me working on location. It takes about 4-6 weeks to complete a painting or edition of serigraphs. If there is a particular sketch that you would like to see as a painting or silkscreen, let me know and I will do my best. If you are wondering about an older painting or serigraph, click here, private collections, for watercolors and screen prints that are no longer available. You can see my paintings and serigraphs at the following places and events

Mountaindale Sun Resort, North Plains, Oregon: year round
Desert Shadows Inn, Palm Springs, California: year round

Original Watercolors

"5K fun run"

21 x 14 inch Original Watercolor

I used to walk 30 minutes a day but my doctor told me that was not enough and I had to start taking medications to lower my cholesterol level. At the same time, I became aware of nude 5K fun runs at a local beach. I gave it a try but discovered I was out of shape. There were two more run scheduled for that summer and that was the incentive I needed to start running on a daily basis. It took two weeks before I could run 5K non stop. By the end of the summer, I could run 5K in 30 minutes. Better yet, I had lowered my cholesterol to where my doctor said I no longer needed to start the medications.

"magestic big fir trees"

21 x 14 inch Original Watercolor

When I think of the northwest, I think of magestic fir trees. I am not sure if the fir trees at Squaw Mountain Ranch are old growth, but they big and tall. When you walk from the parking area to the clubhouse, watch out for the big tree roots. You might see chipmunks running back and forth.

"bicycling to resturant"

21 x 14 inch Original Watercolor

I try to walk or bicycle where ever I go. I finally found a place to ride a bicycle without any clothes on. At Laguna del Sol, you can camp almost anywhere around their 25 acre lake. If you choose to camp on the side of the lake that is opposite from the resturant, it's handy to have a bicycle. If not, walk. We all need the exercise.

Vendors at naturist events offer variety of handmade jewelry, articles of clothing, and art to see. That is in addition to espresso and massages.

"Chili cooking competition"

21 x 14 inch Original Watercolor

Everyone is busy with his or her job and it is easy to forget that on this weekend you don't have to wear clothes if you don't want to. Sad to say that on Monday morning, the neckties and pantyhoses go back on.

Digital Illustration Giclee Prints

"Arabian Nights"

12 x 18 inch giclee print

In September 2011, Mountaindale Sun Resort hosted its first 5K fun run. Despite the event being announced barely two weeks earlier and light rain on the day of the event, there was a fair turnout of both men and women. The 5K average run time was 39 minutes and 48 seconds. Not bad for a 400 feet elevation gain over a half mile (as the crow flies). The event also included a 1 mile walk over relatively level ground and the average time for that was 22 minutes and 58 seconds. I think most of the participants spent the rest of the day in the hot tub because of the rain and stayed for a couscous and chicken dinner with a spicy lentil soup and belly dancing by a 12 member troupe.

"World Naked Bike Ride"

12 x 18 inch giclee print

Seventy of us rode our bikes in the day time world naked bike ride. Another 5,000 rode in the night time WNBR. The WNBR is an annual event in cities and countries around the world protesting against our society’s dependence on petroleum for energy. We also rode our bikes nude because nudity highlights a cyclist’s vulnerability in traffic due of the lack of respect from drivers.

"beach with lifeguard"

10 x 14 inch screen and stencil print

I have had so many people ask me to paint "beach with lifeguard" again that I created this screened and stenciled print version. Although over a decade has passed, it is still rare to see lifeguards at nude beach in the U.S. because many religious leaders consider a nude beach as scandalous. Therefore, parks and recreation managers are reluctant to acknowledge the existence of a clothes optional beach under their care even though there are often more people at the nude section than at the clothed section.

"yatch tender"

10 x 14 inch screen and stencil print

Racing sailboats was one of the few sports that I did well in. My boat was a day sailer, big enough for a cabin, but not big enough to stand up in. Nevertheless, I like to call it my yatch. Sailboats have keels so you had to anchor in fairly deep water. To get ashore, you rowed back and forth in a smaller boat. The real yatchs had beautiful tenders with lapstrake hulls and wine glass transoms. Not me. I had a little inflatable rubber dinghy.

group of people walking through Arizona desert.

"desert hike"

10 x 14 inch screen and stencil print

Being new to the desert, I was happy to have a guide lead this hike. She did a very good job, leading us along an arroyo, stream bed, never straying far from the water. I was amazed by the variety of desert plants and cactus.

"forest hike"

10 x 14 inch screen and stencil print

I always enjoyed hiking with others. Some people are knowlegeable about the local plants and others can indentify a bird from its song. Still other can tell you stories about the local history.

"Hot tub all to ourselves"

11 x 14 inch Silkscreened Print

If you can get to Bagby Hot springs early, you may get the tub all to yourself. Then you can stretch out and catch up on a good book.

"Espresso stand"

11 x 14 inch Silkscreened Print

Espresso coffee stands are ubiquitous where I live and nudist resorts are no exception. The people serving food and beverages, however, have to wear clothing approved by the local health and sanitation departments.
