Naked men in art

My condolences go out to the many people in Oklahoma affected by the tornados.  I'm sure that it would be impossible for outsiders to imagine the devastating scenes and the grief that is unfolding.
I had a lot of fun attempting to recreate this painting of a naked man, as suggested by Wayne for today's Pic-a-Day-in-May.  It was my most challenging self-pic yet as I had only a few seconds to set the timer and fling myself into position, ensuring my manly-bits and face were covered and my limbs were correctly arranged. 

It's a goal of mine to be photographed and/or painted by a professional who has an understanding of the male nude body and is interested in finding the attractiveness in mature men.   As well, I would only do this with an artist who was a gay man ..... and it would be a bonus if he was also hot.

  1. I love that Lucian Freud painting. Saw a huge exhibition of his at the Metropolitan in NYC a few years ago.

    On an unrelated note, I have been asked to do an interview for Pink Play Magazine on the guy who rents umbrellas and lounge chairs at Hanlan's Point. Have to go over early next week.

    I know how much you enjoy it there. However, I will be keeping my breeches on :)

    1. Cool about seeing his paintings. I've only looked at Freud's paintings online (just now) and like this one the best.

      Please let us know when your Pink Play Magazine article is published (online?) As to the nude beach, you could always mix business with pleasure.

  2. sounds a fine goal - so when are you going to realize it?

    1. I'd do it anytime ....and the sooner the better as I am getting more and more dumpy as I get older. The problem is finding the right photographer / painter in my small(ish) town and also the potential cost.

      I know that art schools need live nude models on occasion, but I couldn't imagine posing naked for group of (probably, mainly) young 20ish women.

  3. I can see your wanting to conceal your face, but why your "manly-bits?" I know you are concerned about someone recognizing your face from your professional life, but surely the school community hasn't seen your genitals?

    A blogger who is an excellent photographer of naked male beauty, Scott Barnes, is looking for models all the time. He would currently like to find a scruffy, muscular construction worker (as who wouldn't?) but he takes men of all kinds and does very good work with them. He lives in Indianapolis Indiana. His blog is at http://scottbblog.wordpress.com/, his website is at sbarnesphotography.com., and he has a Facebook page under his own name.

  4. First of all,as I imagined,you look smoking hot.Wow!it looked almost the same,even the bed looks the same.I thought ,its gonna be a half ass effort,but not only it look the same,you look even sexier than than the man in the painting.My friend,if this is tumblr,I'm pretty sure ,it has already been shared by many!

    Secondly,I'm very sorry that I'm having this urge to place my tongue under that lower ass crack of yours.Totally guilty and I'm sorry.

    Call me traditional,but a men looks his best when he is nude and in bed;).Plus ,if you are looking for more suggestions for your pics,how about this.The first pic and yes the same angle with the props.Maybe add a dildo over on the bed to add some story.And another thing,I'm sorry if this sounds rude,are you open to take pics where your hole is a bit or entirely visible?Because there's nothing more hotter than a man from far fully nude spreading his cheeks

    1. First: thank you for your kind remarks. Yes, I was pleased as to how it turned out. And yes, it was a coincidence that we had an antique spindle bed just like the one in the painting!

      Second: your tongue is welcome in my ass-crack anytime.

      Third: Your suggestion about as a-hole pic is not rude... I'm considering it!

  5. I doubt he is your type, but if you are looking for a good photographer you might investigate Bill Pusztai in Vancouver. You can find his official page at radiantpage.com and some of his portraits at his photoshelter site.

    As you can tell, the bears tend to be his main clientele, but he has a good eye and people seem to really admire his photoshoots.

  6. I think I'd already gone through my blogs before you posted this. Very nice job!
    Don't discount posing for an art class - they aren't all women in those classes. Lots of men are into drawing/sketching/painting the male form - and they're probably gay. I volunteered once for a friend's art classes - he never took me up on it. And that was in my younger, more fit days. Not pretty enough, I guess. LOL.
