Welcome Heidi




Dear Heidi,

It is wonderful to see you included in this inaugural week of nude unveilings, with the first participating sculpture. Your extremely compelling figure group reminds us all that beauty is to be found within the whole gamut of humankind. Bravo!

Garth

I don't care whether I posted previously, these are so very lovely, and at the same time so very strong. I'm glad to see you here.

Beautiful. I love the look on both faces, but am very impressed by the boy's stance. I've always desired to see many of the paintings posted here in person, but something you can walk around has to be that much more. It's like walking around the 14 year old dancer by Degas (I think she's 14). There's one at the Met and pictures will never do it justice.

Oh Heidi,

I'm so glad you posted the whole sculpture. This one breaks my heart, one of the most powerful works of art I've ever seen.

Jean

Thank you so much, Cynthia, for opening up the forum to include nudes.
