Not entirely the first, but the first in this type of pose in the past, very partial poses only. Oh, I forgot to sign it. Watercolor and watercolor pencil.

The Culture that has been here all the time
When I was introduced to BDSM relationships, I realized they had existed probably for all of human history. Religion and Western Culture distort this and BDSM itself greatly, and if anything, an incredible hypocrisy is always present. Using codes and euphemisms, even denial can mask the fact that many people thrive within this often unrecognized subculture. For example, my wife had all the earmarks of a pleasure slave and was generally devoted and submissive to me. In times of marital friction, I often heard the words from a counselor, "She just wants you to love her." "Love her," I thought I was, and now I know without a doubt I need to be a Dominant, not some preconceived idea that we are to live as equals: we are not only one can be a Dom and one a sub at a time, but, it is perfectly fine if switching is desired at least now and then.

If we met and felt drawn to each other, we could build a strong, lasting love that would weather any storm. Why? Because I have lived in many loves and endured many storms. I am not afraid of love; it is the best part of living a human being can have: The experience of deep love and commitment.
Reading the story of some famous artists who had a companion or a spouse as a muse is encouraging: a worthy goal for me. Since posting about painting the figures of women, I have learned there are at least two sources of photos of models that have already been cleared for use. These will serve as teaching tools but will not replace a woman who will be my companion and muse.
Voicing my desire to resume my painting and expand my subject matter to include nudes has resulted in several women contacting me, expressing their willingness to be my model and muse, none of whom are near enough to meet in person so far.

My late wife and I were not prudes; we chose some religious influences in raising our four children, and in this culture, it hadn't gone well.
I have begun painting and drawing in general as I prepare to approach creating nude artwork. The mechanism of form and the choice of a palette are all in the works.
Songs are more personal, like deep poetry, but I want my art to be free. I love the female form and features, so I will devote my efforts to improving my art in that regard. I want to paint women of all body types, not just the overpraised thin models. Include details such as birthmarks and breasts of different sizes on the right and left sides. I have art books to begin my studies, but I hope to have real women as models when it becomes possible. All images pixabay.com

I gathered and cleaned some of my art paints, tools, and equipment. I had a project on my back burner for years: Tiny lawn flowers. I want to paint tiny lawn flowers as if they were large enough to fill a canvas of about 12" x 16". I chose Alkyd since my acrylics are battered, and my Windsor & Newton Alkyds are virtually untouched. I have a complete color set, a number of brushes, and a canvas, and all I needed was Liquin, so I ordered that.
I would also like to explore figure painting, as our religious involvement in recent decades would not have approved of it. Now that I am irreligious, it doesn't matter.
