Sorry to complain but please mark this as NSFW.
I've tried that in the past and it hid the while post from view. I don't know what to recommend - we aren't actively seeking nudity on an art sub but it will occur from time to time.
It depends on your settings. The website hides NSFW by default unless you turn it on. After that it blurs. Some apps are similar, you have settings for hide or blur typically.
Is she dead? Also, the proportions of some of the fruit is unsettling.
No the artist just lay down with fruit, took a photo and painted results. There's another version with her sister.
No, not literally. The color balance of the skin tones does not imply life. Also, there is absolutely no fucking way they "just la[id] down with fruit, took a photo and painted results". Ain't no citrus on that scale my friend.
You got me, she died, likely from Vitamin C overdose.
Why are you so personally offended by and hostile towards some Internet stranger's genuine reaction to a painting they actually liked enough to inquire about?
I mean that in jest - the fruit. The artist pictured is already quite pale, perhaps she painted herself paler to look dead or spoiled like the fruit.
They look about the right size for grapefruits, so it's possible.
What do you mean? The one at her feet is twice the size of her head!
Oh yeah, I think it's a mixture of different melons. She does paint cross section of different fruits and makes them large and small. Maybe it's intentional.
That is some dried out looking fruit.
