This picture is by a living artist, living in Germany, who calls himself Janus.  I have been corresponding with him for some time and I have given him ideas for pictures, some of which he has used.  At its best, Janus's work is very erotic, I think.  He captures skin-tone and texture with huge skill, all the more remarkable when you know that he has never had a formal art lesson in his life; he is totally self taught.  I shall feature more of Janus's work later in this blog.
