that certainly is a beautiful painting
yea.. dont you love the way her head is bent and u can feel the sorrow she experiences at her husband’ stubborness.. and the sorrow she feels at having to go thru the humility of riding naked in front of an entire county…yet the strength that is seen in her posture.. showing that she is determined to do what she can to help the people… ? really lovely painting!!!
Now SHE is hotter than Heidi Montag
lolz! Obviously she is!!!
hehehe… Godiva has an innocent sensuality that calls out to you like a beacon!!!!
