You know, that is funny...I was not breastfed as a child. Hmm....I wonder if that has something to do with it. And I did breastfeed my own child but not for very long (4 months, I think?) Maybe that was more information than anyone wanted.

Re: erect penis

I think that erect phallic symbols in art carry a whole different cart of baggage than breasts. Usually they are deliberately made to be the main point of the piece (har har), to illustrate domination or virility or something. I think you might have stumbled onto my hangup with your (painted) breasts, though. They aren't "masculine", but they have a quality that one doesn't associate with the quiet earth mother fluttery femininity I was kind of expecting.

The new one, with only one breast exposed and that one partially obscured by her hair, is more of what I expected (or was trained by society to expect) to see.

I see what you mean.

I had not wanted to portray the soft feminine type breasts, though, in some of the other paintings. In some ways, I want to portray what we might consider societally beautiful, but not soft and touchable.

Ah, well. I have been experimenting with landscapes lately, anyway.
