Model Carolyn's voluntary abstention of pleasure need not hold back her sensuality...
"Chastity does not mean abstention from sexual wrong..." (Gilbert Chesterton)
It's a large, very dramatic, moody and atmospheric, sensual, fine art nude figurative oil painting that would not look out of place as a feature in any location.
