Over the weekend I got this email from my best friend:
"At age 66, does taking up painting in the nude make you a better artist, or just certifiable?"
—CJW
So, I thought to myself, Well, perhaps I have been taking this painting in the nude a bit far. It's a bit grotesque for someone this old to act so, well, immature. And, although I still did do a session au naturel, I decided to spare you the raw details of my efforts. Then, I got this:
"I can't believe you're going to drop the ball on this after all that build up. This is total proof you are a hopeless ADD goonball."
—BBB Inner critic
So, without further ado, here are two paintings I finished during my lunch hour. One was done completely clothed and the other one, well, here is photo positive proof of the strip tease part:

Okay, here are two paintings. One of them was painted completely nude. Can you spot which one?
