I went to an art exhibitiition yesterday which showcased work of various contemporaries. What struck me was most of the works depicted women in various states of undress. Why can't they find beauty elsewhere. I think showing women naked is a disgrace to them. Artists do it to gain cheap publicity.

BUT obviously the women that posed for the artists didn't think it was a disgrace

I will post it online tomorrow... I am just finishing off the rest of the painting... I havent done anything like this before...it is a bit bold of me I think! Laughing
It has taken me alot longer than I had hoped... I am getting fussy in my old age.

And no one posed for me. Sad

I'd be more worried on your spelling and grammar - focus on something you can change personally and DON'T BOTHER TRYING TO CHANGE SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN ENTRENCHED IN HUMANITIES DEPICTION OF ITSELF SINCE THE BEGINNING OF RECORDED HISTORY
