Another "Faberge" egg
This was a nicely timed exercise. Navels are a fundamental design fault in the human body.
(It's clear that the design wasn't carried out by a body painter.) Anyway - this
particular image was painted at just the point where the rather alarming
changes to which a navel is subject during a pregnancy, had just about rendered
it invisible. (Of course I'd like to claim credit for this timing, but in fact
I had nothing to do with it. I just got a call from Pepper to say "I'm just
about ready.")
.. and another view.
