Nude by the Window Light

This is Stunning Portarit sweetie, Worthy of a Oil painting,
I LOVE IT..

God if I still had a body like this lord I would take thousnads of immages like this one..

Keep up the good work.. You are lovely Billy…

I may have had the body back then but no one was lovin me at the time!!

beautiful Billie!! oohh I never had a body like this! so lucky!

Beautiful portrait BillyLee, And my guess is taken today it would be just as beautiful… Wonderful job!

Goes to show we should appreciate what we have when we have it…looking back and wandering why I ever got depressed I was so fat!!!!! Sad really, now I only wish! NO I don’t really, I still have the waist, if I think? Who knows , no time to look in the mirror as much anymore. Thank goodness, I’m free from the mirror!

Oh Karl, thats nice of you to say. I don’t think so though, but I have added certain additions since then that I am proud of. Say no more!

Love the quality and treatment….....well done.

It’s very romantic… I can picture the lover lying in bed admiring the simple beauty of the feminine form.

He didn’t turn up actually, about a month after this shot was taken I met DAvid. You should see the pictures I took of him naked! Wow, I will post some of the beautiful ones I took soon. I was so into photography back then. It was my life. The darkroom especially was my domain. Then photography changed and it too redbubble to lite that fire up again!

Beautiful work Billy !!

Beautiful photo and great in sepia. Well done

Nice self Portrait, Nice Posture… Nice posterior as well..

It’s very beautiful. If you don’t paint it, I will!

Just noticed the heater – that’s in Europe!

I just love the line of the chair curving over the bottom, lovely lines.

Perfect pose, love the sepia tones an you have such great curves, love it and the timeless feel you have captured. Excellent work Billy, well done :o)

Picture taken when I lived in London, good spotting Sorina! Fulham I think I was living.

I might paint it one day, but if you want to paint it Sorina, well give it a go! Maybe you will inspire me to paint it. I would love to see you have a go! I might printmake it but it will feel weird painting or working on a print of myself!

this is a wonderful shot.. stunning work, love the tones and lighting

Haaaa Fulham, I remember it well!!!! Well I think I might paint this one too someday Billy! Hope you don’t mind me using your photo for inspiration for a painting. X C (although I have promised someone else on here the same and still not carried through).
(PPPPPSSSSS – is using someones photo as inspiration to create work by hand the same as copying someone elses painted work?)

Interesting question, I need a visual to paint something, but I don’t need someone elses painting because I don’t want to do what they do. I think if you had a nude in front of you , well you would paint them, but if you don’t then you have to use the picture. If you had someones painting in front of you, you could perhaps practise with it at home. But you would have to put “after matisse” or “after Carmen” or “after Picasso” if you get what I am saying.

Great photo Billy, and Mick liked it too.

Ha ha Faye, I wander if my favorite teachers will like it!!!!! Hope they never see it. OH MY GOD! Nat is used to it though but I don’t think Phil and John would like it too much! He He, hey I even like it because its what used to be!

Perfect, full of character, style, and class.

I love this Billy its absolutly beautiful!
So soft, perfect example of the beautful curves of a woman, what a classy photo any women would love a shot of themself like this!

I love this!! The lighting and sepia tone are magnificent!!

fantastic tones on this…love it

great image well done love it !

...such a cool image – yes, love the tones!

Thanks everyone for all your wonderful responses. I am glad I dug this photograph out of the portfolio and put it on the bubble. After all, being in a book and shoved in a cupboard is not celebrating it at all. Bites is right, I am lucky to have a shot like this. One of our Bubbler friends is going to paint it for me and put it up on the redbubble. So I am looking forward to her work. Its exciting that we share like this. Thanks for all your wonderful comments.

Gorgeous image. nice toning.

Gorgeous self portrait!

very nice

beautiful image, ......and the sepia makes it.

I played around with this in Photoshop Jim, changing colours and adding this and that and then I thought to myself, you know what Billy this doesn’t need any messing around. Leave it as it is. So I did, and your right the Sepia does it enough and that is all it needs. Sometimes “less is more”. Billy

What gorgeous curves!...you are so awesome and diverse BillyLee!!

really beautiful

If I use a master as inpiration, I would always make reference to it in my title. I am not sure of the protocol with photographs. I think ask the artist or if they don’t answer then change it and make it yours. We all do at art school…..so did Picasso, who doesn’t? Who is this world is orginial. I actually did my bipolar barbi bronze, took me 6 months to make it and then when it was done I found out somebody else had done one just like it in Melbourne. I was gutted! My teacher said “welcome to the world of art”...

stunning! beautiful shot!

Great lighting and treatment

Gorgeous shot :)
Definately much better in your gallery than stored away.

Very erotic, Billy. A lovely view from the rear. :P

Pure excellence Billy, well done
Cheers

...roy

beautiful shot… love the treatment, great pose and composition.

Hottt, hottt, hottt!!!

So there you are Lenny, hope you are well. I think we have all been moderating the nude group so well. We make a great team! Billy

With the incredible influx of pieces, it takes all three of us to keep the pages waiting for approval below 5. And a bang up job of you in the nude! Time for you to update your shot and I’ll add two of my own to catch up. Deal? :-)

Aw, come on! I’m butt-ugly and you’re not. What’s to lose? ;-)

I adore the vintage look of this image.

I would hook up on those social networking places but the spyware, the trolls, and the sheer nature of much of the members makes me cringe. I’m trying to get used to this e-mail thingie people are talking about but I can’t keep the stamp on the page since the page disappears every time I click “SEND”...

great tones in this shot very well done

well taken photo and you are still a beauty , by your insert photo That was then ,but so nice to have . LIZ

“I may have had the body back then but no one was lovin me at the time!!”

And a Blues musician, also….

Great work Belinda, very popular image too, well done and congratulations on your feature.
