Transparent


Because it's been such a long time since I haven't felt this way...

You truly are talented in all ways, great job! I hope to see more of your drawings.

Beautiful drawing indeed! I want to encourage you.

Just a question - you don't have to answer, of course - do you want to feel more transparent? It takes a lot of trust.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all be 100% honest and open? But we are vulnerable people and some people will take advantage of us. Being transparent means being fragile, right? This is what I think when I look at this drawing. The girl is naked, but her thoughts are still her own. Nobody knows her inner secrets.

I imagine Heaven must be like this: all people transparent, no secrets, no hidden agendas, no bad intentions. Eternity Forever, goodness all around. Meanwhile we're living down here on earth. But it's still nice, isn't it? ;-)

Well Paul..I guess it is that rare feeling that one has sometimes when one is perfectly conscient of his own fragility...but simply cannot do anything about it...

I would also add that some people ideed take advantage...but that cannot mean that all do...or at least that is what I would like to think!

Glad you guys liked it.I have some other nudes on my work table..I shall try to finish them soon.

I agree. And even though some people will take advantage, you must not allow them to spoil it for all the people of good will.
"Alles wat mooi is, is kwetsbaar" we say in our language. It means: "All beautiful things are vulnerable". That is so true!

Thanks for including a link on your blog, I will add your blog to my blog roll too. Take care.

Well Paul I guess you were right...People do take advantage of vulerable things...I may not have realized it when I did the drawing but I now know why my girl has such a sad look in her eyes...

If we let others see us in the purest state they walk us over...if we don't, well we'll live our whole lives in hiding, never showing our true selves...no matter how you take it, there seems to be no right choice...
