I will be posting some of my artwork here and would like to share with you some of my thoughts on eroticism in fine art, especially focusing on paintings and drawings.
Welcome fellow artists and those interested in erotic art.

Beautiful artwork James! Good to see someone with the courage and moral integrity to celebrate vulval beauty. The vagina is, or certainly should be, a proud and noble member of our human heritage — as the wellspring of all human life, something to be honored, not hidden in shame.
I’d even argue that your vulva studies are not ‘erotic art’ any more than an artistic study of flowers. In this view, ‘erotic art’ implies the intention to suggest sexual behavior. But a body part in itself is just an anatomical specimen with or without its own inherent neutral beauty. Erotica arises with more complex body signaling, as we can see in some of your other work.
In my own female art I aim to extract out erotica so as to express pure feminine beauty. I see just that non-erotic purity in your vulval work. Bravo!
