The pose is exquisite. She has a nice waist…

A Captivating painting showing both strength and vulnerability.

There are ways around the facebook censorship idiocy.

Posting work on Facebook is like standing on a street corner holding up a sign reading “will paint for food” Most people that frequent that website haven’t got a clew what they are looking at. Too many have never been taught how to look at nudity as art.

One sees some pretty bad paintings of nude or naked people, usually female, full of cliche and really just soft porn for people’s bedrooms, but these are worlds away. Thanks for some real nude painting.

i think why facebook had objections is because of the photo realism of this work. i don’t think they have problems with paintings that look like paintings.

Nice pose isolating the viewer. I am further removed by her non-engaged look & demeanor. She seems vulnerable and self protected. Afraid of eye contact and what that means. A 21st century woman, guarded like a medieval castle.
Your choice of color & light really resembles large format film. The black borders echo the edge of a negative. Interesting work.

This is an extraordinary painting, Dan! It’s hard to believe that Facebook finds nudity to be obscene. I wonder if someone complained. Congratulations on your show in Glenwood Springs, I hear from our friend Tom Torge that is was very successful.

These are gorgeous paintings, dude. Really got me inspired to buckle down in the studio tomorrow!

Banned by Facebook! That should make these nudes really popular! Great to see you here, up and running so fast. Congratulations!
