I really don't KNOW what to say, except the last time I hired a model to paint a nude I got REALLY bored and put a tutu on her.

Sort of a topless ballet dancer if you will.

Shouldn't we be painting WHAT we love instead of dissecting it.

I think since artists can paint ANY kind of nude today in ANY way, obscene or elegiac, it does not leave a whole lot of room for discussion.
