This post isn’t really about sweets. That was just a ploy to pique your interest, because who doesn’t like a sweet treat?
This post is really about “nudity” and how irritated I am that a recent painting of mine was deemed by the chair of a local juried art show to be “not acceptable for this show” because of an abstracted naked breast that could very well be a glazed donut for all its realism.
Oh, the freakin’ horror! Shameful! Pornographic! Our children (who really don’t attend art shows) could be harmed! People could be embarrassed!
Screw all that.
I could rant for hours about American hypocracy about the female breast, but I’ll spare you all that since I’m sure you are well aware.
All I really want to do is show you the painting. I don’t have gallery representation at this point, so my only option to have anyone see it is social media and, well, here.
So here’s my lovely lady, in all her glory. I hope it brings you a little smile and joy.
Thank you for hanging in here with me and showing your support. Much appreciated.
Wow. So sorry that happened. Disappointing on several levels.
Let's hear it for boobs!! Yay!! I was mad too when I heard this. Obviously the jurors have not been to the beach lately! Those string bikinis! Well, they might as well be naked. Just barely covering the nips and the patch of thatch!! Yuk!! Would the jurors not allow a famous old masters "Mother and child" breastfeeding!!! Geeezzzz!!!
