Make no apologies. . . if people don't like the fact you've pulled some of your photographs, then they aren't anyone you need to associate with. Your nudes aren't all of what you do as an artist, there's so much more than nudes. You like to try a whole bunch of things, as you can see from my gallery, so do I.

I have always appreciated your work for who you are and how you deliver the end result. You are also a nice person to know. Just know that you are awesome artist and you don't need to explain your choices.

Thanks very much for the support. I am finding that, although I liked my nudes at the time, I have grown as an artist and most I find lack something. I will look at them myself to see how I have progressed as an artist; however it's too much in my gallery for new watchers to sift through

You will always have my unconditional support.

I can understanding growing and growing your art at the same time. Some times you just have to chunk it all and start from the beginning. Thats what I've done with my new account.

In regards to your work with your nudes, what you write makes sense. If it lacks something make a change. If there's a detail thats wrong then make a change.

Let me share one experience. I came up with the idea of a nude. It wasn't that of a modeling piece, but, more one to prove a point and deliver a message. I tried it and was okay with the result. I didn't honestly like it. A few weeks later on a bad day of mine, I decided to try it again. I finished the piece with different messages and I think I did better.

I do believe in keeping it simple and keeping it awesome.

I am glad to know you.

I am also glad to know you and have such a wonderful fan. It is so important to support one another. As our art grows and changes so too do we as self-actualising human beings. We need to let go of the past in order to embrace a new and exciting future. Change can be scary but can also be immensely satisfying.

You're daughter is beautiful...she gets at least half of that from you

What you feel, is ok! it's never gonna change anyway

Thank you.

I agree change is immensely satisfying.

I also believe that you really grow from even taking chances for your art. If you had asked me a years ago if I would've even done something like this [link] I would've said NOOOOO. You can make a good point when you do.

Art has to grow. If you have friends like you it makes it happen that much more.
