"Muse" 27×56" watercolor by Paul Jackson

My first painting of 2012 is a bit of a diversion from series past. I have a muse that inspires me to paint and I must follow the whims in my heart.

This latest watercolor was censored from Facebook already…although I’m not sure why. If it offends you…don’t look. (I reposted!)

Personally I think it is a rather conservative study of a beautiful female form, but some people are appalled that a woman isn’t covered from head to toe. Please just delete me from your friend’s list if you can’t take it. Then rush right out to a museum and culture yourself.

The human body is a masterpiece, in any form, in any condition. We’re all stuck with one for a very short time, like it or not. Embrace it, love it, appreciate the complexities and celebrate the nuances! The human form is a work of art.
