I'm just making myself laugh.

Because we paint representations of the female/male form in sensual/sexual expressions does not mean that our own private sexual energy is up for public knowledge or exploration.<br><br>Like myself, we can choose to paint erotic art for many base level reasons. For me, it's how I can change random marks into representations of the primal animal within the human spirit. This does not mean people can see me as some great animal in the bedroom!<br><br>I agree with you. Women probably face greater attention from men when they paint works of a erotic/sexual nature. The people who focus their attention on you and not your art because of what you paint, are basically not interested in what you put all your hard work and attention on - your art, and warrent no further attention on them.<br><br>Work this out, I can sit in my studio and paint/draw "erotic" art but would be scared/shy working from a live model.Mark Newtonhttp://www.artofdesire.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999135641913378531.post-28023945107387296432010-09-17T23:50:22.000-07:002010-09-17T23:50:22.000-07:00Thanks for reading, Mark.

I feel so much better for getting that all out but I'mgoing to have to be careful that my blog doesn't tun into a teenage stropfest!<br>I did get completely run out of town by the attention. It seemed to make people so very angry- either my subject matter itself or frustration that I refuse to be part of the deal.<br>Six months on and I've developed a sense of perspective again. I will use this blog to answer questions as I'm asked them and hopefully that's the last of it.<br>On the other hand it's part of my interest in the genre- the perception of it. I never mean these things to come across badly. As i said in the "do you paint in the nude" post- it's advertising which has formed these ideas.<br>I think you'd be amazed how quickly you'd get over the worry about a live model. I can remember thinking that. I know it's easy for me because they're people I know- and I'm a girl so everyone says yes! It's harder for my models because it's generally the first time they've done something like this and so they're often very vulnerable. But my best pictures come from that. I'd recommend it!<br>I love the differences between male and female erotic artists too. Mostly you can work it out, sometimes you can't and I'm fascinated with it. <br>I really need to stop being cranky and actually produce some work ;)<br>Talk soon <br>Joannajojezebellehttp://www.wild-at-art.biznoreply@blogger.com
