My eyes! My beautiful eyes!

The only way I could get a shot of this nude painting in a Beaufort Street shop was to stand behind it to block the reflections on the face. To my horror when I opened the file I found that that she now had my ears. And the shape of my head. And sort of blended facial features.  She actually has long hair washed out by the reflection. You may not be able to get this image out of your head. I don’t want to talk about it.

    The body is very well painted, then the apprentice took over to paint the head.

    An excellent painting of a hooker on a sofa during lawn collection season with caltex in the background.

    Is the Caltex part of the painting, or the reflection?

    The toothbrush moustache is a particularly fetching aspect to her/(his?) beauty. Stunning would be an apt description….I am stunned.

          maintain the rage, and the affront.

          I cannot give you world peace, but I observed a minute’s silence in your honour at noon today in remembrance of your lost youth.

            Thanks guys. I’m looking forward to getting home after a hard day’s word-processing, unwrapping things (including, I hope, a copy of World War Z by Max Brooks), kissing my wife’s bust and the busts of Marx and Engels, eating pizza topped with herring and getting my drink on. Rage maintenance will resume tomorrow.

    TLA, it’s a long time since I’ve seen your tits. I didn’t realise how much I miss them.

    Wasn’t it really uncomfortable, sitting there in “Tranny-tuck” position to hide your equipment?

      Come for a nostalgic drive in Nihon sometime, Groucho. You’ll have at least 3 impeccably uniformed staff offering you washcloths, cleaning your windows and mirrors, and putting a tiger in your tank before you can say “Mantan Regular, onegaishimasu.”

    All the streets are crammed with things
    Eager to be held
    I know what hands are for

    On your mammary glands

    Happy birthday, David! May the next year of your life be full of living, loving and learning. Maintain your (out)rage.

    I’m inclined to agree with most people here; the face spoils what could have otherwise been a nice painting. Jeez, the brushstrokes and the sense of anatomy don’t seem to match up! It’s like what Lovecraft said: what is seen cannot be unseen.
