I have wide hips, small breasts, plump arms, and a tummy, and (and, not but) I like how my body looks. I was really into classical paintings--Bouguereau in particular--when I was a kid and the tummy, the arm fat, the small breasts, the wide hips, they're all there. I found my own body reflected in their beauty; the painter thinks they're gorgeous and it shows.
I think all women are gorgeous--for their bodies and their voices and their minds. I hope it shows.

When I was younger, (before my breast reduction) I was very fond of Rebun and Rubenesque women. Because they looked like me. And I guess they still do, or rather I still look like them, with my 40Ds.
YAY for you Loving the way you look. I think we should all be surrounded by classical paintings that show all different size women. It's one thing to hear that we're all different and that's ok, it's another thing to see that it's ok.

-- and Bouguereau is one of my favorites, too!

And have I mentioned that you have a real knack for color scheme?
Maybe I should look at the great painters for inspiration. Learning to draw from comics hasn't been all bad, but I'm not very good at drawing different body types; including my own.

Thanks
But thank you for posting that comment, becasue, like another commenter said before its easy to say 'all body shapes are beautiful' and then get knotted up inside about HAVING hips and not having 'good' cleavage. Your picture and Bouguereau's painting (I'm looking at 'The Bather' at the moment!)
I agree, women are beautiful fo thier bodies, minds and what they have to say.
So thankyou.
