All The Men

I started my figure painting class at the local art center last week. I've gone twice now and have returned with over a dozen large watercolors. Most are pretty bad but there a few that aren't terrible. It's nice to get the practice and I'm enjoying the challenge.

Aaron took a look at my work and asked why all my paintings are of men. I'm not sure why, but so far all the models have been men. And I'm starting to wonder what I should do with the growing stack of male nudes floating around the apartment. I sat down to breakfast and found them scattered all over the table. Getting dressed I bumped into a couple laying over the dresser. There are several more cluttering the office. I feel like I should do something with them but I'm not sure what. Hang them on the wall? Use them to decorate the nursery-closet? Begin distributing them to friends and family members as early Christmas gifts? Any ideas?

I suggest binding them into a large coffee table book or selling them on e-bay

Hmmm... can't say I've had that problem, so I have no schema for this solution....
I do like the idea of a book, though, Katy. I'd love to see you more widely published!

I am sure a number of your relatives and friends would like nothing better than a watercolor of a male nude in their stocking. Particularly because the models all seem to be men in their late 50s. Nothing better. ;)

First, I'm REALLY curious as to what Aaron said earlier that was removed by the author.

Second, that could replace newspaper as this year's Christmas wrapping paper.

I said the same thing...just had a typo. One must present oneself to the world as literate and a good spllrr.
