Well, one of my summer projects is painting my old office. The light through my otherwise too-small windows seemed very nice, especially with the new, darker wall colors so…

Your HNTs are always so productive and active. Comparatively, I just laze around...
But this reminds me, I do need to paint my bedroom...I won't look nearly so good doing it, though. :)
Happy HNT!
[Wow, Ms. I, thanks for saying I look either productive *or* active! Where were you when I still lived at home! :-) Mostly I enjoy how sexy everyday activities are and just try to give them a little push. I suspect you'll look fine painting your room. Happy HNT. --fl]
Submitted by 2322 (not verified) on Wed, 2008-07-30 21:43.
Oh, I thought you are the painting...you seem so perfect standing there in all your glory!
HHNT!
[Funny you should mention that. An art teacher once told me "paint what you know." Well, I used to be a house painter so I got a big roller and covered the canvas in white paint. :-) Seriously though, thanks for your kind words, Mariposa. happy HNT to you too. --fl]

What have we here?
Figleaf in a setting so reminiscent of Vermeer?
Are we to guess as to the symbolism of the fallen trousers, the wooden ladder, and the neatly stacked boxes?
If this is what you do in a slump, may you have many more of such slumps. These photos are wonderful, fl.
Happy HNT!
[I know! What's really funny is once I finish this project I'll have... about 23 more. :-) Including clearing out the basement so we can do a seismic retrofit on the foundation. But yeah, once again I couldn't believe how the lighting came out in some of those later photos in natural lighting. So anyway thanks, Kochanie! --fl]

It is not fair, I only see the main picture of this HNT!
[I think Flickr's getting a little more restrictive about nudity and other "adult" content. That means you might have to get an account with them and verify you're over 18. I'll have to test from another machine and see what happens. Thanks for the head's up, Maeve. And happy HNT. --fl]

I can also only see the first one, but yes, amazingness. Your HNTs always leave something to strive for. hopefully mine will be up later today...

I love the lighting in these. Very nicely done. Happy HNT!
Submitted by 2322 (not verified) on Thu, 2008-07-31 04:49.
Nicely done... and I really like the third one!!
But a reminder that I should finish a dirty job too... striping paint from a very beautiful wood... Any idea why people are painting on beautiful wood???
HHNT!

Indeedy. The photos in natural light are the best ones. HHNT, figleaf!
Submitted by 2322 (not verified) on Thu, 2008-07-31 08:34.
Well this is a fantastic photo - quite "deep" and "moody" to me... not to forget to mention that you have an incredible body to show off! Happy HNT!
Submitted by 2322 (not verified) on Thu, 2008-07-31 09:01.
Feel free to bring your painting equipment over to my place.. I have some work to be done too! HHNT!
Submitted by 2322 (not verified) on Thu, 2008-07-31 11:02.
Yours are some of the best shots we've seen this week. Thanks for sharing. HHNT!
Submitted by 2322 (not verified) on Thu, 2008-07-31 11:47.
I like seeing your HNT's as you are good to look at. *winks and grins* I hope summer is treating you well. Blessings!!

*sharp intake of breathe*
figleaf, you have hit my spot just there. Maybe it is the natural light, or maybe your stance .. fantastic.

Very nice light indeed - and a very pretty painter, too. Lovely photos, Figleaf!
HHNT, xx Dee

Damn, so much to admire in this photo! From the super angle and lighting to your gorgeous legs and ass and the lovely curve of your back... Altogether a delightful picture! Whew!!!!
Submitted by 2322 (not verified) on Fri, 2008-08-01 09:16.
It takes a creative genous to make painting a wall look sexy - but you manage it as you can tell from the appreciative comments! (I know it's Friday but happy HNT anyway).
