This week there was a wonderful theme challenge over at Gothic Arches; it was a challenge for me, finding an image that was both risque and yet tasteful~because although I love vintage nudes both for their beauty and history, I have always been shy about using them in my art. I found this beautiful image on Flickr, courtesy of Suzee Que~she shares some absolutely wonderful public domain images, (and also her lovely artwork), and I'm very grateful to her! I hand-colored the image with my art chalks and then, well, the rest is pretty obvious . . . I do love using little Prima flowers and those Stickles! To see all of the artists' lovely interpretations of this theme, go here!
