Click to see the full painting, full nude.

I painted this painting last night, based on an image I found on tumblr.  Yet now when it comes time to post online I find myself hesitating.  Not because I would classify the painting as R or even PG-13, but because other people might.  The internet can be touchy and since I have tried to keep my presence at a PG rating I wonder.  So if you’d like to see the full panting, either click the thumbnail, or look below the cut.

I like to paint my figures with non representational colors, it lets me accentuate curves, shadow and highlight better.  I chose this figure because of the smile mostly, which is interesting because painting an open mouth often looks odd to me.  The original figure is dressed (and wow does she every look awesome/hot/amazing/sexy/happy/wonderful/beautiful/lively/heathy/fantastic) but I just loved her form and as I painted her I didn’t paint clothes.  I miss painting from a live model, but thankfully the internet gives me many photo models.
