That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 14, 2022

“Maybe you should go outdoors to paint a landscape.”

/// His compulsion to change things too much is

why he can’t make The Finishing Touches.

Then his beautiful spouse

lets him look down her blouse.

In ten minutes she’s nude in his clutches.

“when you invited me upstairs to see your paintings, I thought you meant sex…”

At least until photography is invented.

Face is dear. You can’t paint for squat! Come on. I’ll make you a nice glass of warm milk.

So that is the mayor’s mistress? She doesn’t looks so hot without any clothes on.

Yes, that’s very nice. But my breasts are bigger than that. And remove the mole on my hip.

“Very nice dear, you even followed the numbers.”

There would be less of a market for nude art if there were more nudes walking around.

Rare rendition of Mr’s Ross telling Bob she didn’t like the happy trees just before the divorce.

Perhaps if you didn’t put SO MUCH energy into the naughty bits, you wouldn’t be SO EXHAUSTED dear.

The scene 5 minutes before Madame Carolus cracked her husband Jean’s paint pallet over his head:

“Is that Gigi, our new young maid? Very realistic … right down TO THE PAINT SMEARS ON HER CHEST!”

“But, Dear. Those are merely Impressionistic breast … I mean, brush strokes!”

“This just isn’t what I expected when you told me that you paint houses.”

He has a special long ‘brush’ for loving strokes. A true master of his art.

…and he paints too.

Conversation between Hugh Hefner’s grandparents….1930s

“Isn’t it supposed to say “FOR SALE” not “FOR SAIL”"

It id not take long after the camera was invented before comparable photographs became popular. Same for shortly after film was developed and after the internet and later the World Wide Web. It seems that those kinds of images finance pushing technology forward.

If the barn needs painting…

When I said I wanted you to paint the house, this is not what I meant!

“Let’s see…easel, canvas, brushes, palette..now if I could just think of a subject…”

“It’ll cost you another twenty for me to take the bra off.”

So while he applied the gesso/

She slyly contrived to undress – so/

Without further ado/

And, inspired anew/

Did he find her worth painting ? Even less so…

An artist may be an “Impressionist”/

A rebel, “a rabid Secessionist”/

Or belong to no movement/

(It may be an improvement!)/

I, myself, am a fervid “undressionist” !

Hmmm, I think Darla, we should get nude and sleep on it?

“Finally, after 5 years you’ve finished. That’s a beautiful vase and flowers.”

This guy is good. Painting without putting any paint on the palette.

A hardy I do!

WIFE: Hmmm. Paint By Number and Dyslexia are a bad combination…

I don’t think that I am a prude,

But do you have to paint a nude?

A cheery face

Can have a place

in a painting more subdued.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3011 (October 14, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 4 works by this artist have been used here. The February 4, 2022, strip has the prior.

“Don’t worry, dear. You’ll get Tippy the Turtle right eventually.”

“You’ve invented ‘abstract painting’? I thought you were just wiping off your brushes.”

don’t be depressed dear, I’ll open the curtain and you can see your work, maybe it’s not so bad.

When I said “make a painting, it lasts longer” … I didn’t really mean it!

wow, if my husband ever sees this, you’re dead meat…

“Yes darling, it looks like a real… aah… the… uhmm…”

There will always be a market for pictures of nude women.
