NO Nudes?

[Patt Legg]

I have a question and please know that it isn't that I disagree here about it. I just want to know how to handle my situation.

I see that Cynthia says no nudes here on the site. I see the reason, due to the old adage of "give an inch and they take a mile". There are so many different attitudes of when does it go from nudes artistically to the cheap stuff.

I just finished a "partial nude", I call it. It is a female figure, on a draped chair with all covered except a leg (of the model, of course) out of the folds with toes tipped on the ground.

I am doing a solo show in a couple of weeks locally. I hope to put her in it. What suggestions do you all have? I have absolutely no problem with this nor with artistic nudes but I realize some do. What is a good way to approach it?

Thanks.

(Moderator's Note: Patt is asking about the advisability of including a "partial nude" in her show, not about whether nudes should be allowed on the SOG forum.)
