The "masterpiece of old" is a nude "still life"---"gnawing at art's door."<br /><br />This well expresses both viewpoints, the parental responsibility and need to protect as well as the youth's desire to be loved and appreciated and also to be expressive and artistic. There is no judgment here; only sharing a story.<br /><br />But you may have intended something entirely different.<br /><br />rosemarymint.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980374748220249244.post-6643040295063029302012-04-21T19:04:42.830-07:002012-04-21T19:04:42.830-07:00The social media has changed over the years.
