I'm not fond of nipple piercings anymore.

thank you l and c... I don't either.. in fact, it's just about nauseating

I am glad I am not the only one

I don't mind it..I just wish it were a bit prettier..know what's funny..if you just look at the revisions out of the corner of your eye they look like the V for Vendetta mask..

This style and the colours and lighting remind me of Vettriano but I don't think he painted anything quite this explicit. There are some nice things happening with the lighting and shadows under the breasts and in the stomach area.

her nudity doesn't bother me but I find her face rather unappealing

Not bothered by the nude vagina, I came through one when I was born, and I have one. As long as it's clean and not smelly, I like all body parts.

Whenever are you personally going to come across a dirty smelly one anyway? I'ts not like you can smell one from 10 paces.

There are only a million and one sexier poses for the nude body than the crass ones. Or maybe it's just her face? lol I do LOVE the light!

whyth would anyone sit like this?..money, I suppose.. looks rather awkward, too. Very skilled work, Bob...not surprising of course. I like the seat, and it does look like in the style of Vettriano, but, agreed, he leaves more to the imagination. heh. Strong lighting on the subject, but interesting light behind, too. :)

it's a beautiful picture,but the point about extreme vaginanus is,that "less is more",rather,what we imagine is sexier than blatant reality;tha'ts why those pin-up girl paintings experts,always have a tiny bit of clothing or jewelry on the girl,so it does not look like someone going to a gynecologist.I do not envy those doctors their job;I heard,years ago,that doctors see so much intimate body parts,they get bored with bodies,and they have trouble finding their wives sexy anymore,and they used to go to Burlesque shows(my dad told me,he saw them there all the time,as a young man)to try and get their interest in sex going again.Yeah,they got de-sensitized to women and sex.Uh..watch out for that,I guess too much porno could do that,too.If you see too much porno,lots of body parts,all the bare stuff,all the time,you might get "desensitized"to them.You know,they all end up looking like meat in a butcher shop to you. Reemember,"sex is in your BRAIN.It's what you THINK,,that makes "sexy.""

so well said, dorothy.

Thats why we have our own free will, if you dont like something you dont have to look at it. I'm not trying to please everybody.

There is nothing wrong with a nude and this one is interesting, the pose, leather seating. Very well done indeed! Love all the lighting on the torso.
