Translucent

Adding details (in between admittedly long breaks) for this particular piece. At one point, I shied away from painting nudity but if art is to be ''stripped down'', as I mentioned in a previous video, then there should be no shyness in capturing the human form, without societal embellishment or assumption. Nudity​ within art is often a kind of taboo. I have had multiple pieces of my art that feature nudity taken down from various platforms​, strictly because of the nudity. Often it's seen explicitly as being related in some way to s-x. I suppose everyone has their preference but I personally feel that not everything has to be a nod to that, as it relates to depiction​s within paintings. ​The artist's intention lays the foundation and there is a huge difference between perversion and sensitivity. So, despite not being able to control how viewers interpret my art (I wouldn't want to) I would hope that people can, at minimum, be mature about viewing nudity shown within my paintings, as (in this case) it is a testament to emotional vulnerability and femininity, not interlocked in eroticism.
