plinth in Trafalger Sq in white marble so we can all go and pay our respect and Thanks too her our Fairy Princess.

[D Akey]

Well now, my good Lord Ploos o' Brighton. Princess Di indeed. Spotted it afore I heard anyone mention it. She was quite a regal Lady. Well done tribute, one subject to another. . . er, I mean she was the fitting subject of your painting.

So ye fell in love with a princess, did ye now, lad. Well, you nay could ha' picked a finer one nor wif an better 'eart. And ye captured it in your portrait as ye saw clear through 'er, oh aye. It's all in the eyes, as plain to see for all and I'm sure that's why everyone can spot 'erself in your paintin' -- it's all aboot 'er compassionate eyes. You portrayed what you saw of her in your heart as well. I can see she quite resembles your fondness for 'er.

[pai]

I am happy you painted Princess Diana as I love her. She has a good heart and she is so beauitful too. Yes, I also can spot is her from your sketch. As I keep saying agin, you're so good on your recent sketches. :):D

[coops]

Ye raise a good point however. . . an Frenchman's socks, oh aye. . . There's a right famous restaurant oot here in Northern California called the French Laundry. Famous for their tasting menu. I believe they have to import the laundry from France daily, for the bouquet, ya sees. One taste and say good morrow to yer eyebrows altogether. . . cause if the cooking don't do it, the bill surely will blow em clean off yer noggin.

Looking grand. Sounds like you have a good year stacking up and today packing your cornflakes and eels on walkabout must have been a right rousin' Spring time fer ye. Go man go.

I would think that Caesar might have been elected Pope had he not gotten the nod from the most esteemed Brighton Beach Druid the Old with the sketchpad. May have worked against him getting to the top this here lifetime. But I'm sure he loved the support from whichever quarter.

Your work is moving in very interesting directions again. Sorta modern at times. I'm enjoying them all.

The babe will be getting older quick as ye know, so this will be as a very fond memory for her soon.

[limey-g]

E bye gum eighty you really like to make work, if the painted layer was at the top you should have just dragged it to the bottom and she would appear again anyway.
If by chance you actually painted over the girl then the only way is what you did, however to prevent that happening again you should lock out the layer with the girl on and then you cannot accidentally paint on it.

Hoot mon you haggis bashing Californun Scottish Hippeeee ain't you got something in your rule book ? about spare the Rod :(well I done my Damdest but when I Layed

on the floor to start press ups ! blow me down with a uncooked Aggis I Fell Asleep :D:D:D

Hi woke about 9oc the noise from the telly a Yanky soap but they were rabbiting so fast that I got lost :eek::) so then went to Ull With our man who's going all over place on the Trains

with Bradshaw think he's showing his face as he would like to be back in the parleyment i must admit he seems like a nice guy but he takes after mother's side of the family blue blue

down to his socks gawd have pity on his Soul :D:D:D then got glimpt of Boweee but they said tomorrow:(:cool: then before i could fasten ma seatbelt i was up in iceland with

our favourite hiker Girl with the iceman showing us the Volcano site :(:cool:it was a bit hard on my legs to much walking for a old codger ,:D then bingo I was in greece and when

I got think its called Zeus? then the crowd when they saw me started calling Stavros Stavros :confused: I said no Tis I Mr pluoos from the planet Artee Ragii so had to

run as there was a orrible ush :eek::eek::(:D:D:D


Forgive me for snorting. . . Yeah, OK, never mind the press ups. HAHAHAHA.

The rest is a cavalcade of the world falling into your sitting room through that electronic rabbit hole, and it's rather like workin' the calliope at the fairgrounds.

Like they never sang in the movie, Life is a taboret ol' chum. . . no an cabaret. . . an taboret -- the side table thing what you rest her palette an' brushes on. 'Course now ye got ArtRage and all ye need by way of a taboret is a cooker. But me point is that ye got the world in a fishbowl. Just pick oot the 'aggis an' eels when they float by and paint away with the rest.

Go man go!!!!!!! Nice paintin's by the way. Like your version of Caesar's happy SadClown.

Hello Geoff yeah onestly i tried when i clicked lock up come 4 options how the hell am i suposed to know which one :( :) any as i was back with Sadie I smashed

some colour in the background and made her more curvacous I think but you've got a good eye :D so tell me what you think ;) :D :D :D Don't choke on yuh coffee


..........Hi Mac still trying to decode your last lot :D :D :D :D :D could Naff do with a pt of Brandy even if made from old Socks... And I'm t/t to :D :D :D

[limey-g]

We'll she looks good eighty, of course we all want to see what she was painting. :):):)
Just thinking with a costume like that she could always find a square to clean her brush on.
Geoff

[eighty+]

Hi Geoff had a chat with Sadie she has shown what she is painting ok when its done with luck she will let us se it :(:(:confused::confused::cool::cool:


hi tried again to sketch from telly on the IPad main trouble tools change and I get what I call lighting strikes lines that come on their own as much as I smash undo botton

i can't get rid of them :D:D

[D Akey]

Yeah, Mr Ploos. You did the right thing. . . but it will take you an awful lot of tea to get there. . . unless ye let it ferment. Just don't drink too much or like the poor tee totalin' Indian what drank too much, ye might drown in your teepee.

Just talking about the tele bringing you the world to sketch. The rest was a play on the song from Cabaret with the line "Life is a cabaret old chum. . ." In your case and mine, life is a taboret, since we're re-creating it through art. See. . . not really worth the cost of a brandy. Although, me 'umor is worth every farthing ye pay for it, lad. . . LOL :p;);););)

[pai]

Aww, very nice one on Sadclown's painting. :D

[eighty+]

I wonder who this last guy is (a wonderful brushwork, by the way), maybe one of our paleoanthropological ancestor :rolleyes:. I see he's tanned all over but the nose, so I presume he's got vitiligo (or she?).

[coops]

Hello Dame of the Moara hope your keeping well, looking grey but the Magpies seem quiet happy bouncing around on the tree branch'es, the seagulls well there's a lot

............ SLAINTE STATTE BBONNE....Si........Si .........JAIN SHENTIKANG

[D Akey]

Er, exactly how low we talkin, Mr Ploos?

Marquis de Queensbury. . . legal regulation strikes?

or Rollo de Queensland rules? Oh aye. . . where striking all regions of the body below the equator is drunkenly encouraged?

vs. Queens of Hollywood. . . where they're not entirely organized and are never on strike certainly.

We'll, I'm shocked ye'd 'ave to invoke rules. Ha'e people been disrespectful? It ain't right ye knows. . .

Well. . .
'Tis a fine set o' paintin's Mr Ploos. I have a quick question about the white bit above the baby's upper lip. Is that supposed to be traces o' milk? Methinks it's a bit distracting if you're after an effect. But it's a lovely picture and you should be proud. They'll love it.

[pai]

aww, the last one is so great. Mr. Eight, must have spent a lot of time on that one. didn't seen you painted like that before. very nice work. :)

[Caesar]

What a tender image and fine painting the last one! All nice excercises, but this latter is the one I prefer of Your most recent additions.

[AT-TA]

Nice works Eighty, especially the last one. :)

[justjean]

Hmm, I thought I had posted to this but it seems to have flown the coop , the mom will be so pleased to see her lovely offspring in your beautiful painting Mr Ploos

[eighty+]

Hi Pia yes I hadn't painted like that before:eek:;) I must admit its mainly because of my 3 stalwarts, who stuck and helped me along the Raging road :)

Dame Katie of Moara . Mac THe haggis Basher and Caesar our Scribe from Roma, Who in my moments of deepest dispair have kicked my arse to make me move

Hl Mac Rules ;) Don't apply to me:D Geoff said as I'm a Senoir Citizen :) and at the age where you not sure where you are or where your going plus sleeping at

the drop of a Hat :cool: the milk on the upper lip dids't think it was but collar twistd up so with my napkin i Will wipe away OK :p

Hail O Caesar O Mighty One My thoughts go out to you in your troubled times :D:D:D And thanks For youe kind Comments

Thanks Jean Sorry I missed your post better luck next time ;)

hi Geoff lost your pic; but have found it now so have done a qiuck smash at the back more of a impression i should think but at least it gives us some idea where

going :confused::confused::confused::D:D:D

Hello O Dame of the Moara how does your garden grow ;) ok keep warm :D.......SLAINTE STATTE BBONNE Si Si KUAU LE SHENTI JAINKANG ZIA JAIN

[Caesar]

My troubled times???? :confused: I think You know some bad news I still have to hear, dear mate ...:rolleyes:

I hope You're not referring to European problems, because it's going to be hard times to anyone pretty soon. Even UK and Your pound aren't immune in the longer run.
It looks like that Germany and the beaurocrats bowing to them, are going to start feeling on the GDP and export negative effects of its short-sighted and mad policies. They forgave France and Holland defaults, they helped Spain much more than needed while Italy is always being targeted even if we're having are yearly debt increase within the 3%, thus such issue positively closed. By the way, we pay more than we ever received as bonds buy by the BCE to the common European financial support (i.e. we pay also for Greece, Spain and Portugal problems). As a matter of fact our bonds sold magnificently yesterday (f... the rating agencies) and our families still have the highest patrimony and good, though declined, savings in Europe with the Germans (alas not at all so good revenues) . We have huge problems, but for some more times also considerable improvement opportunities if we start leading our country as such. Actually, notwithstanding our sensibly worse work problems, we're still the second manufacturing country in Europe (as for industrial production) and our export balance is significantly positive.
I think that once passed their forthcoming elections, Germany will finally behave differently, since it's becoming more and more concrete the possibility that they would be left alone with their EuroMark and most other countries may decide to join and mutually support their Euros and a common Eurobond (no veto power could be enforced by Germany in that case).

[limey-g]

Hi eighty it looks good thanks for the effort, is my hair that grey :) when I go the hairdressers to get it cut I always say to the girl that does it "only cut the grey ones " to which she replied, if I did that you would be bald.
Geoff

[eighty+]

Hail O Caesar O Mighty One ho ho ho I like your retort do :D my brain has gone into shock:eek: so reply I cannot do :confused::confused::cool::cool::cool:

Hi Geoff hearing of your blight :eek: you should talk to Pia :) as she has bundles of loose hair ;) :D :D :D

[D Akey]

So what's the weather like in Brighton then? You still having Winter? Sounds like a little of this and a little of that.
Great pic of Limey-G and his dog. The dog looks particularly good though they both are done well.

[eighty+]

Hi Mac cloudy odd bits of blue with the sun trying to shine through :D did rain early :cool: had another go at Geoff's flooring to give the carpet a slieght angle


but Mac did i get in the shit i put a black line around like a frame with the ruler then was nearly finished the carpet when bingo it all went bizarre the transome lines were

were around the Pic; larger then the frame but when i tried to close the gap bugger me as the pic; it self did move :eek: so know I've got double vision so to speak

did try to match the two face'es together but no joy so pressed the save button on the Pic; resuming all the work I had done was gone so had to start again

my only hope is that Laughing you don't have histeric's :D :D :D :D :D :D

[eighty+]

Well What More could do :confused: :confused: :confused: :eek: :eek: :(

[D Akey]

Well What More could do :confused: :confused: :confused: :eek: :eek: :(


Is that a rhetorical question, Mr Ploos? I believe ye could give 'im some whites for 'is eyes as so many 'ave them these days.

Not a bad expressive painting though.

[eighty+]

Hi Mac the question is to be or not to be Aye aye ;) :D :D :D

[D Akey]

It would appear that the "Aye's" have it. Motion carries.

Let all in the land henceforth have whites in their eyes! . . .

er. . . and maybe a wee bit o' red subsequent to a round doon tha pub, laddie.

[AT-TA]

Hi Eighty, you have been pretty busy painting lately. Good stuff, must be the spring that makes you so prolific and sprity. Love them all but prefer the clawn and a baby. So, i won't keep you...just go on in painting.:)

[eighty+]

Thanks AT TA yeah I liked that clawn as well :D :D :D haave a nice Sunday

[eighty+]

Hi Dame Katie of the Moara hope you've been to church this morning and said a Pray for me :confused::D, it rained on and off yesturday, today cloudy but brighter

and as I'm up early :cool: I might do a dash down to the front with my IPad clutched in my hand, temp still only about 10.5c so keep yuh woolies on ok

have to go now so enjoy your Sunday

[eighty+]

hi just found Lima's 12inch brush amongst my carefully arranged gear :D :D :D so had a quick smash on the IPad ok:D:D:D

[eighty+]

Hi Mac done as you said cleared the White from her upper lip ok see what you think now :p :D :D :D

[D Akey]

Hi Mac done as you said cleared the White from her upper lip ok see what you think now :p :D :D :D

Much better, I think, Mr Ploos. What do you think? A rule of thumb, and one of the reason's it's nice to get a fresh eye, is that certain stuff pops out as odd that is in the source photo or model to the viewer that the artist may not consider so distracting. And what you had before on the lip was one of those things. Don't get me wrong, sometimes peculiarities add character, so much so that the artist names the picture after a detail that stands out.

But in this case I like the pic a lot more because it gives us a clear look at the little one, in an area of the painting with a lot of detail happening. . . which makes sense and looks great by the way. I also really like the effort you put into the pattern on the cup, and the perspective on it is really nice.

So the pic is nicely balanced with the emphasis both on the mom, because she's large and placed in generally the first place we see (considering western readers are used to entering a page from the upper left), and then there's the baby with all the stuff around the hand area. Seems nicely balanced visually and charming in subject.

Well done, lad.

[eighty+]

Thanks mac. I like your break down. :D. Wonder what Mum will think??? :eek::D:D:D

[eighty+]

Hi is it monday if it is what happened to Sunday :confused: :eek: :cool: :D

This has to be one of my favorite simple portrait paintings I've seen of yours. I love the blue accents and the brushwork roving around the head (babushka?) makes for a perfect frame within a frame. Great composition. Nice strokes. Loose yet very clear and she's beautiful. Well done Mr Ploos.

Hi. blimey. 4oc. Must have dozed off been out for nearly 3 hours. Just knew. I was up to early this

Morning:eek: Hi. Pete. ....Geoff. ...... Pat. Sorry. You caught. Me napping. :D:D:D

Thanks :confused::cool:

[D Akey]

You certainly captured what I always interpreted as Corot's rather haughty demeanor that was in the original.
Sometimes artists, who were deviating from what the Academies ordained to be the way art should be, they would do a painting with a visual message they knew would get seen. This one might have been saying "Just try and stop me" to his critics. I'm not aware of his story, so I don't know whether that applied or not. But I interpret it the same as I would seeing someone looking at me that way. I know for sure that was what Klimpt was doing with his critics when he painted a beautiful redhead mooning the viewers.

Good job.

Oh, lad, I guess having knocked back all them bottles o' wine, having your mutt dancin' on the table is not so far oot. Looks like a very casual tableau, but not for the artist. Lots to do in this one.

Well, 'ave one on me. Go man go!

Ah, Mr. 80... I have missed your works and unique style of drawing. Your works have grown even better since the last time I sat down to look at them.

[eighty+]

Hi Mags Great your back it only seems like Yesturday I was doimg that Bambo chair and the two little girls how are they all getting bigger:eek::D
and you were painting your dog who was asleep on your sette how are feeling now getting back on form painting . Nah I'm not gettig better
Just the Tools :D:D:D as they say in Ireland SLAINTE :cool:

[MJSparks]

My two little nieces are growing up fast enough to make me feel old. My oldest is about as tall as me now. The younger is having growing issues, they haven't figured out why; but she is growing at a much slower rate than a normal 6 year old child. She's still a teeny lil lady bug and part monkey... that girl can climb bare walls I think.

The oldest is smart and getting more pretty by the day. I only hope I can finish my cellar before she turns 16. I'm proud of her though, she's reading at a college level in 4th grade and constantly getting honor roll; just like her Auntie.

;) I plan on getting onto drawing soon. Just need to figure out what picture to start up that I left off on a year ago... :eek:

[eighty+]

Thanks Mags. Good to hear the girls. Are all ok and doing fine send them my regards.

Sorry late in replying But dozed off. It's my age. You know. :D:D:D

Getting back on the bus is it then? Fantastic!

Right, the last two look like the mum's hollerin' at 'er daughter to not play no 'appy songs. . . that sad country ballads is the way ta go.

Mum: "Come on lass, play an "'e left me" song."

Daughter: "But maaaaaam, I can only sing an "'e ain't even ever arrived yet" song, jeez. . ."

Dear ATPlus the old, I'm more than ever delighted by Your wonderful excercises and very personal, fascinating outcomes!

I just wonder where are you in this collective picture ...:confused::rolleyes::o LOL

Congratulations, dear Eighty+, for reaching 500 pages in this amazing thread! Well done. Keep up your good work as I look forward to my daily dose of inspiration from you. All the best!

[limey-g]

Congrats eighty on 500 pages looking to another 500.
Your latest painting somehow reminds me of Guy Fawkes.

[D Akey]

Man, dig them crazy pajamas! Night watch doon the dormitory. Good on ye Jimmay, and ye might wan fer keepin' an lid on it, and pipe doon, else we all catch hell. Daytime folks are tryin' ta sleep, oh aye.

I say you should start putting yourself in these pics. I mean they got something of you in them, bein' the artist an' all. But Rembrandt done it. So ha'e many oothers. An' yer a right proper model, so far as I could tell from yer photo.

Well done lad, an' that's a fact. "Epic", ye might say.

[eighty+]

Hi Grayflo thanks Geoff thanks Mac thanks ok got to go to bed tired :D:D:D:D:D:D

I believe the night watchman's done passed the baton for the evening. Well, shake a box o' cornflakes on the morrow, forsooth, oh aye.

I have to say, I don't think I've ever seen a more ambitious self-portrait - done whilst sleepin'. Fancy that, eh?
