The nude to be painted could be either male or female, draped or partially clothed, in any kind of setting. The nude should be incidental to the setting and establish a mood to the painting.

This is the final version of my nude, "After Bath Repose". The other four versions are shown below in reverse order. The images have also been reduced in size.

The changes to this version: raised the draping; lightened the inner drape fabric; worked on the blending resulting in narrower folds; added a mirror with mist on the surface. The woman is now seated in a large bathroom where the hot water from her bath created the mist on the mirror. My forth version is below.

I'm getting a little ahead here but just had to change that window and the view. My third version is below.

I decided she's looking out her window across the room at her bakyard pond. She seems to be enjoying the scene and the sound of the water falling into the pond.

This is a start as I've not decided on the actual setting. At the moment I see her looking toward a door or window, perhaps someone is approaching. Hopefully it will be a dog rather than anotehr person! Actually, I'm not even sure how I'll be able to add anything other than something on that back wall - a window?
