Mother and Child - opinions please.?

I don't know Michele, I can't imagine very many folks being offended by this as a painting. Classical nudes are well accepted in most galleries, how could this be worse? I can not imagine anyone thinking this as anything other than beautiful.

In the end, worrying about other folks hang-ups or insecurities would cause us as artists to just tie our hands.

I look forward to seeing it Tricia.

I'm with Kim on this one. I think it will make a stunning painting and the last posted image was on the mark from a compositional standpoint. Go for it.

Thanks, Richard. I will go with this one, but maybe add the full form of the shoulder too.?

Hi Tricia, I agree with this idea - psychologically, I think this works best with lots of breathing space around the mother (lots of room to the edges of the canvas). They would seem to be more in their own world that way. I think this will be a lovely painting.
