Lovely piece Jonathon, would love to see more of your work.
I've now doubt you'll have plenty of volunteers here to model via photograph, but let me be first to step forwards.
Wishing you all the best, and welcome to the club!
Thanks Steve, I was fortunate to visit Cornwall a decade or so ago. That's a really stunningly beautiful place where you live.
There is a link to my website in my first post, but it's easy to miss. This is easier:
Other than the one painting I posted, there are virtually no nudes there. I've got loads of nude sketches I did in art school, but they're all filed away. This will be a new direction for me to go with my painting.

Hi, I'm Mark, saying hello from northern Virginia in the US (I live about half an hour west of Washington, DC.) Having just paid up and done the verification earlier, I'm ready and able to introduce myself.
I've been a naturist for well over 30 years now, pretty much my entire adult life. Even as a child I wasn't a fan of clothing, and since reaching adulthood and being under no one's thumb but my own, I've enjoyed being nude whenever it's reasonable and prudent, both at home and at various clubs and beaches around the US. (I have yet to visit any overseas naturist locales.)
My nest is empty now, with my wife having passed about seven years ago, and her daughter off on her own. My wife was skeptical when I told her I was a naturist, but she eventually came around and joined me several times. Her daughter didn't "get it" but she's still a great person and that's her right to feel as she does. My current "person of interest" (something more than a friend but as of yet less than a girlfriend) showed some interest when it came up in our chat earlier tonight; she's very into body positivity and isn't ready to go now but could be convinced.
I work in cloud computing professionally. Unprofessionally, I sing and drum with my church choir, play around with electronics and radios, enjoy watching soccer (or "football" or whatever your culture calls it) and ice hockey, and listening to all manner of music, though the louder and crunchier the better.
I look forward to further exploring ANW and participating in the community here. Cheers!
Welcome Mark. It is great to have you here and fingers crossed with your "person of interest."
hi i'm a canadian teen and my name is maddox i'm not really new to nudism but i can only be naked in my room... i might visit a resort not too far from here next summer (bare oaks) since they don't require a parent consent form and i'm already old enough to be there by myself so yeah that's pretty much it i'm bad at this 😅
it took me a while to post this because i had to change my gen alpha slang to actual words 🤣
