Artist Cooks Up Rachael Ray Nude Portrait

Alex Gardega will use paprika to paint

Share

(Newser) – The wait is over: You may soon be able to see Rachael Ray naked. Artist Alex Gardega is painting a 6-foot nude portrait of the TV personality, the New York Post reports. Fittingly, the “art-world rebel”—who says modern art “needs a savior … to bring painting back to the lofty planes of the Renaissance”—will use paprika mixed with oils for Ray’s skin tones.

Me, she's a nice talented curvy natural gal. Shouldn't we celebrate that?! Don't tell me you'd rather a do-nothing like Paris Hilton or some Size 2 model?!

Cool! When I read the headline I thought it was be using actual foods to get 3D effect. Like bread sticks and stuff as limbs with BBQ sauced spaghetti for her hair. Anyhow how is it going to be an accurate portrayal, he hasn't seen her nude...or has he? Reply
