Auction house commission:

This work is one of the sensuality series which I am using to talk about ladies? issues. In this painting, I did put more details on the flower but when one of my sons saw the painting, he asked ?What?s with all the boobies? I thought Wow! he could not see the hard work on the colourful rose and the lace work on the purple bra but he could comment on the ?boobies.? I am sure many people’s attention will also be on the boobies but not on the whole picture. This is one of the thorny issues that the beautiful species of the human race has to deal with.

Some women spent a fortune on cosmetic surgeries to enhance their boobies to make themselves beautiful according to the prevailing standard of beauty set in the social media world. It is often said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder; outer beauty is good but how about the inner beauty?

It would be good to pay less attention to superficial beauty and promote inner beauty which are virtues that we need for a better life.
