haven't you been to nude beaches before?

I've been to Black's Beach at La Jolla, and a few in Jamaica around Negril--that's where Hedonism Resort is.
Nope. Not me. I stay away from Black's Beach. I've only been skinny dipping in wall-enclosed private pools at night. People who skinny dip in the ocean! That's just begging for Great White problems.

Here are some paintings, of the digital variety, I've made using photoshop.

There are scads of people doing exclusively digital "paintings" on deviantART, with apparently spectacular results, but I'm old, and hence, old school, when it comes to art, and I would like, in all cases, to see what digital "painters" can produce with old school tools: physical paint, physical brush, physical canvass.

I'll replace it with a better photo when I can get around to it
