Ok guys, really hopping that you could give me WISE advice in this matter.
I'm gonna be honest, and cleas as possible.
So, I'm an artist. That means that I make Paintings for a living, I have been invited to some galleries, museums and art bazaars, etc. blah blah blah.
But I have a serious moral problem regarding my art and some people.
So, what I paint is Erotic art, Hyper realistic portraits and Portraits (the last two differes in technique)
In the business of art, one just can't simply take any picture, paint it and sell it to someone, because these little things called copyrights and intellectual property.
Unless I manage to paint some beautiful girl that's not very well known (so nobody can claim the copy-rights because the chick of my painting is pretty much not recognizable by anybody, than means MANY adult aimed models) then I'll be ok.
But not all the time I'm gonna use the same method for my work.
And there's a girl that I used to love and that I want to paint. We used to go to high-school togheter, and I had feelings for her, and could tell that she had the same feelings 'bout me.
But never had the guts.
So, recently, I discovered her facebook page.
Talked to her, and told her that I'm an artist, looking for models, and that I'll be paying her to pose for me.
She told me: "As long as it helps you, I'll do it for free" (basically)
The problem is that, she is married now, she has a child of her own (she's like 22 or 21 years old, I'm 23)
And the dilemma here is:
-She's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to beautiful to let her go and miss the oportunity to worship her as my muse.
but
-She has a family now, and I don't want to trouble her relationship, nor her family with my artistic desires.
Do you suggest me to stick with her?
PS: She's out of my reach now. Plus I don't see her like a potential loving partner, so I'm not in love with her anymore.
I only admire her beauty.
