There is nothing abonormal in it. Its a sexual enjoyment to be painted nude by the partners. My wife also enjoys to be smeared with bhasma as three line tilakas (Indian way mostly used by men in temples)all over her naked body by me during sexual play. So, proceed and enjoy!Mod Note:I've let this answer through, but I'm a little dubious as to exactly what 'bhasma and 'three line tilakas' allude to. I hope it's nothing rude. I'm going to have to look them up I think!

 Pornography or art ,normal or abnormal?
This depends on where you live and whether you are an ultra or a conservative.
If there is no peace between you two ,
then it is better to grant her that wish with certain conditions or whatever.

i think that you should respect her decision, but i would talk to her about it and see why she plans on doing it. it's not unusual for a woman to get a nude picture drawn of her. it make them feel beautiful. yes it is normal. relax! don't freak out!

 I adore nude art, I think its wonderfull that your wife would want to do this. She must be very secure with the way she looks, and thats such a wonderfull thing to hear in this day and age.
Suport her, and let her know that you are a uncomfortable about this. I'm sure she will be able to explain that your fears are unfounded.

I would want to make it suttle and tasteful and not slutty. The reason is that it makes me feel sexy and is something that I would like to share with my husband. The idea adds a great spark to our sex life. Normal, what is normal anyway?? Gladly we are all different, otherwise the world would be a boring old place!

 It's fine, but I think she really ought to consider whether or not you would be happy about it.
One of our neighbours, a very "respectable" and quite prim and proper lady, regularly posed nude as an artists' model for over fifty years right into her late seventies until shortly before she died. She told me she found it exciting to know that so many people had seen paintings of her over the years, and that her husband had never really approved!

 Getting a nude painting is a heck of a lot classier than having Playboy style pictures taken. I think it's great that your wife wants to embrace her beautiful woman's body in the form of art. Let's face it - a woman's body IS a work of art and is so often appreciated as such - just check out any art museum.
Find someone who's work you appreciate, get her painted up and hang it in your bedroom. I think it's a really cool idea.

 Ps-When I used "you" there I wasn't refering to the questioner personally it was just a general rant to the body of the kirk about some folks views of nude art.

Nude art is the eternal message that the woman's body of all shapes and sizes is one of the great classics of the art world. To even ask a woman who wants a piece of this action, an eternal monument to her body; "is this normal?" would open yourself to accusations of being a cultural and historical Philistine.
So the next time you visit the art galleries and see the female nude study it from the artists point of view. Try and apreciate the efforts that Reubens and co made to make a female form look voloptous and wonderful,where they added warmth here and where they emphasised feminity there.
Alternatively you can view it is as "fat bird porn" while playing pocket billiards. The choice is yours.

 Women love to be admired. Saying that, if it bothers you, share your concerns with her, and see where that takes you. Hopefully she considers your feelings.

 It's been done for centuries, just go to an art museum. I would do it in a heartbeat! As long as it's tasteful, I don't see a problem with it at all.

 "Normal" is sometimes a tricky word. I'm sure she wants people to see her naked. I'm not sure if this is "usual".
I suppose she should take into consideration that you find this disturbing.
