In my opinion, you can portray doggone near anything, and it will either work artistically or it won't, regardless of the painting's actual content. I have seen numerous paintings of pregnant women, and they work, totally.

I agree that there are very few (if any) subjects that are too offbeat to be worthy as art. However I just wanted to let Kimberly know that commercial portraiture is a much narrower field of endeavor than simply creating a striking or even beautiful work of art for art's sake. I love many paintings of people that would not get anyone hired as a portrait artist.
