The paintings of backsides feature the entire back of the woman, not just her butt. Female bodies are quite possibly the most incredible natural art in the world, but for more than just sexual appeal - like these paintings, which show the woman's soul and femininity. They all have stories. I wish I could create such beautiful work. For the record, I am both female and gay, so girl-power is definitely my style. The third painting is my favourite.

Probably one of the radical, man-hating variety. There is nothing wrong whatsoever for an artist to explore his vision of feminine sexuality, however much you anti-man-anti-sex feminist puritans piss and moan. Well done Steve Hanks, these are impressive images and very insightful examinations of the feminine subjects. Good work! Eunice, you must be a feminist.

All your portraits capture the beauty in everyday feelings. Even if it is "more of women and their backsides". You're a fantastic artist and you should keep working!
