(Almost) <br />Nudity, and the beauty of the body, and pleased by our own body, are social and cultural conventions, our decision, and our appreciation of beauty is modify by external factors to us. <br />You know it. <br />You and your art are in a difficult struggle against established conventions, but you do it very well!!<br />roberto M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16391708405593430150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3261206584625062959.post-21449416770280908702014-07-01T11:17:01.251+02:002014-07-01T11:17:01.251+02:00I can totally understand everything what you said ...I can totally understand everything what you said about how we feel about our bodys and the pressure our society beeing concentrated mainly on the superficial side of humans, that makes us always feel that we are not good enough, not thin enough and not beautiful enough. I also think looking at pictures of the past of me, why did I worry, what for! Your drawing here is expressing a mix of lolitalike innocennt with a very strong woman apeal. Like it a lot!!!<br />xo barbara beeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352999617324383290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3261206584625062959.post-24737882391567122782014-06-30T16:17:50.833+02:002014-06-30T16:17:50.833+02:00Looking again at your drawing, I appreciate the am...Looking again at your drawing, I appreciate the ambivalent expression on your model's face.<br />-susAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17790734873076989843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3261206584625062959.post-19214068475963095302014-06-30T16:16:55.515+02:002014-06-30T16:16:55.515+02:00Again, a thoughtful and thought-provoking post her...Again, a thoughtful and thought-provoking post here, Celine.

I like your drawing.

I was still a sleepy head and as usual felt shy to have my photo taken, her daughter took maybe 30 images.... i squirmed. But like you said, my friend did also, in twenty years we will look at these and think: pretty nice. it is best to enjoy ourselves.
