Amidst the colourful and remarkably illustrated nest of chaos, there lies a labyrinth of information, each item revealing a story and lending further richness to this cozy and very personal domain... while a peaceful disposition rests at the heart of it all. Untitled - Marley is one of ~cobotenuss's latest and greatest. Please enjoy. (Suggested by =ArtisnotanAccident, `oilsoaked and *alicexz)

Description

One in a series of intimate and psychological nude portraits.

[DISCLAIMER: A lot of people have commented on how the model is "masturbating" in this painting. Stop for one moment and question why it is that a hand placed near or on the crotch area automatically denotes masturbation. In actuality the model was covering herself up because she did not wish to flash her vagina to the entire world. It was an act of modesty. Quite the opposite from the fantasy many people have created on their own. Ever hear the phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words?" There is always more to an image than what is seemingly going on at first glance. My work is squarely footed in this idea. If any of my images offends or seems to break any of your social or moral values you can either choose to move on or take a moment to think and understand what is really going on both in my work and in your head.]

UPDATE: A Note on Medium
- The painting is watercolor and gouache on Arches 260 lbs. cold-press watercolor paper.
- The painting is entirely rendered in watercolor with the gouache being used for the graffiti on the left side wall and small details on the window just above the girl.
- It measures 40 x 26 inches.
- I did not use any type masking or frisket for the painting.
