Kim,

I have the same issues as you do with hiring people for nude modeling and having small children having access to your studio. My children (ages 15, 10 and 3.5) have accepted it quite well without a flinch. Some adults flinch. But Grandpa (soon to be 90) viewed the four paintings I am currently working on in my studio (one Bouguereau copy, two portrait commissions and one nude figurative) and after a few silent moments turned to me and said "Very nice..." then pointed to the nude (3'x4') and continued "but that is the one I wouldn't mind hanging above my bed."

I am having a ball with it. I don't hear boobies....my three 1/2 year old called them boodles. Ahhhh kids are great! So are grandpas.
