Baba's Life Drawing Class



Baba is modelling for life drawing classes. Consider:
"All that is left of her natural beauty.
Her skin is intact,
Her bones are as they are
No need of paint and powder
She is as she is no more, or less.
How marvellous."
Ikkyu (fifteenth century)

No it is not. I say we need to see more of this kind of shape and celebrate it. When everyone is nude in a Japanese Bath-house the grace and knowing of an aging body is something to behold.

Ahhh enhanteur, that is in Japan. I have to smile when I think of American men and senior women sharing a bath house. Woo to an exposed older female nude. BUT, I agree, lost appreciation for what is earned wrinkles, sags, and bulges. I am working...on...my ....drawings.. and adding a few self portraits in the process.
