Sometimes a woman enjoys her own company.

Yes, Comrade, her claws were as sharp as his too.

That bottom panel reads, "Soyez amoureuses et vous serez heureuses," which means "Be sensual and you will be happy."   Oddly GREAT ADVICE from Paul Gauguin.

Fine Erotica by American artist Dusty Pendleton

Best known as a landscape artist, Texas-born painter James "Dusty" Pendleton has also produced a body of fine erotic art that has been rarely shown because of its themes. When Dusty struck up a friendship with me, I was amazed that his work was not getting the audience it deserves. I have a soft spot for gifted artists who meet resistance for trying to show through their art that sex and eroticism are the beautiful fundament of human joy.

I don't know if I'm the first to blog his erotica paintings but, if so, I hope I'm not the last.
