________________________________________ ___

Conform the AW nudity rules I "froze" the breasts
-only for this site- with my watercolor snowflakes.
(I'm wondering what Michelangelo would say...)

Should anyone wish to see a selection of my uncensored nude oil portraitures

(which for your convenience will open in a new window)

Embrace


My husband had to laugh out loud when he saw this silly 'covered up' version, since in full glory she is proudly hanging in our entree.

Color palette:
I painted the hair red as a striking contrast to the cool blue tones. I left some yellow under- paint in the neck to warm up the colors as well.


Joe Cocker - You are so beautiful

Oil on studio stretched canvas
Dimensions: 18'x24' (61cm x 46cm) in a plein air silver wooden frame

Yes, the snowflakes certainly take something away from the original version - which I really like.

Perry Sullivan 10 Oct 2008

Olga, I'm very interested in the original. I just found out that the only thing disturbing me has been put there according to the rules of the site. In welke eeuw leven we ook al weer?

Olga van Dijk
Artist Reply: Hey dank je wel Ferry... Ja AW is heel puriteins (komen van Utah) Mijn origineel kun je zien door op EMBRACE te klikken in de tekst of op de volgende link te klikken (at exto.nl) http://olgavandijk.exto.nl/site/kunstwerk/12374026_obj.html Nogmaals dank voor je fijne commentaar.

Olga...I see you were much more creative with your coverups than I. One guy on here used pictures of baby passifiers to cover his nudes nipples (am I alowed to say that?) Reviewing your profile...I discovered we were fellow Georgians for a while. You do nice work...keep it up.

Olga van Dijk
Artist Reply: these passefiers... what a great idea!! Ha ha ha! Thanks for your lovely compliment Tim. Where did you live in Georgia? --Love and Light~OLGA

Hi Olga, I love it. Ook met de sterren heeft het wel iets. Ik wist niet dat je dat bij artwanted moest verbergen. Jammer maar je fantasie om het te verbergen heeft ook wel iets. Liefs ...... Tineke

Hello Olga! What a stunning portrait! So bold and sensual! This is a superbly skilful and imaginative piece of work. I just love it! BTW, thanks for you very interesting explanation about dreams of flying. I tell people that the philosophy behind my painting is summed up in three words. Conception, Creation and Completion.

Anonymous Guest 14 Jun 2008

LIFE we ARE! Therefore also a womans breast is wonderful! Your painting is a sign of Life in all it's glory, Olga! Hope to see much more of these! How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman. Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies. Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins. Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus . Thine head upon thee is like Carmel , and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries. How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples; And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak. I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me. Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves. The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved Love, Annette Steens

This is a beautiful painting with the color and all but I would think that omission of the stars would have been so much better. The female body is a thing of beauty and this in my opinion would not be obscene in the least.
