Desc: What is the mystique of the blue nude? The logo of barebrush is a blue butt. Many artists have put blue nudes on this site. If we ever do an actual, hang on the wall show, I think it will be 'Blue Nude.' To me, the blue nude says something about our shared humanity without saying anything divisive about race.

Short poses enforce a discipline
Light and dark define the form

Colors glow with the feeling of life
The model’s mood intertwines with my own.

The image grows from the figure and the brush.
The page is the universe.
