She looks like a very determined person Eighty, with that piercing gaze! :cool:

[eighty+]

Hi. Robbie. Yeah. She frightened me. Prehap's that's why. I made such a mess of her

Nah I'm only pulling your leg Looking for a exscuse. Coss I made such a cock-up as I said.

[eighty+]

hi hush I'm Busy with Layer's ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D POZDRAWSKI :p

[D Akey]

This last one looks like you're targeting getting that one right, combining a portrait with a bow and arrow target. How would William Tell tell it. He'd probably ask what happened to his apple.

Looking good with the lassie, only kinda dark. She's looking a wee bit like she stepped out of those pastoral scenes ye done. Tasty lachs, lad. Careful aboot the weather o'er yer lachs. The weather's looking pretty stormy and dark.

Constable really had to keep his darks in check. He was known to say, "'Ello, 'ello, 'ello, what's all this 'ere then. . . " A right proper constable 'e were. Boot while so many artists of the time favored dark colors, they did have to carefully manage where they went. Constable in name, constable in directing his paint like traffic.

Always a joy to see your stuff. And mind the sheep. Don't trip over the little bleaters. Fraser-Paice has been looking for 'em.

[eighty+]

He HE HE Cap'n Mac enouf is a nouf as the actress said ??? yeah she do look foreboding that

one enouf ta put yuh off yuh Porridge YUK on this last one when trying to put a background colour in

it went right threw the lot I thought Jeeze that has buggered it up but the old faithfull undo button

put it right , but I found out the Magic wand does it as well , then I tried Cropping no chance it would be

more easy to cut off my IPad finger ow yeah I've upgraded to 4.5 I think as i thought I'd like to try the

Grid as I always have the floating eye problem or angles , but so far I haven't found it yet but will keep

trying !!! ;) ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D POZDRAWSKI I've said to our Polish fella MKroot I bet he

thinks what the hell is that POZDRAWSKI :eek: :D ;) Ciao Cap'n Mac

[eighty+]

HI Cap'n Mac Yeah The Grid is on the top Menu Bar OK :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[D Akey]

I'll have to go check that out Mr Ploos. Sounds intriguing. :):):):)

Draw pose-skis! And sending out a big ol' Pozdrowionka! right back atcha!

[eighty+]

hi Cap'n Mac 1st try with the Grid ok bashed poor old DEEgas ok Ciao POZDRAWSKI ;) ;) ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D looks as if she's got a left arm like Popeye:D:D:D

[eighty+]

Ho Ho Ho I'll get the Birch for this ;) ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D POZDRAWSKI

[D Akey]

As Popeye says: Woah! Well blow me down!

Looks pretty darn good these latest 2. The color in these seems to lift the spirits with less of a somber and dramatic palette. The dancers look like they're discussing the visit from Dance Maestro Ploos and trying to recollect the steps to the dance what manifested the pint.

Color suits ya as well. Getting skills in all kinds of styles. Good on ye.

[eighty+]

Hi Cap'n Mac yeah Layer's did help when I think I used to carefully paint around them and the tree's as well mind you I'm still no sure what I'm doing with the Layer's i still get in

a Mix and have to bodge :D:D:D but at least I can see the light at the end of the Tunnell ok I'll have another go at Strato's Birch trees This time i have his to copy i see

he does a sketch first and bungs the colour's in leaveing the birch trees white plus I cant get the colour but he said ther in artrage art supplies i did go in holding my breath

coss its like pandora's Box alright for those whizz kids but for an old geezer like me its a nightmare will I ever be able to get out again :eek::eek::eek:;) ;) :D:D:D:D:D:D:D Ciao

POZDRAWSKI Ow it do roll of the Tonque :cool: :cool: :cool:

Hello dear eighty, more great paintings, really like the tree, take care dear friend

[eighty+]

Hi Pat. Ok. I did lo ok at Pino's but coundn't find your one ok. Ciao. ;););):D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[D Akey]

Here ya go Mr Ploos. Never let it be said that the internet does not provide, eh? Pat's source painting by Pino -- or something close to it I would imagine. A very good artist to learn to paint using juicy colors and flashy brush strokes, from looking at their work -- Both Pino AND Pat!!! Go man go go go!!!!!!!

[Alexandra]

Hi Eighty, wonderful additions here. I hope you've had a nice weekend.

[eighty+]

HI SANDY THANKS for Digging me out ;) :D My usal Week end trying to draw :(:( been on Strato's Birch Trees nearly all day i thing he's a hero on the time it takes

him as mine is only a copy I don't think I could spend the time would drive me Scatty as haven't the Patience have a look see what think Sandy ok Ciao

;) ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D POZDRAWSKI Sandy:cool::cool::cool:

[D Akey]

Suddenly gives me a hankerin' for a piece of Punpkin Pie. . . a la 'aggis.

This one would look good printed and mounted on your wall just like Strato is doing. Definitely less yard work comes with this outdoor setting. And ye can take a fine walk in the woods on your way to the refrigerator and picnic on cornflakes and banana in yon russet arboretum. Then all you have to do is hire in an assortment of nymphets and a Roman painter and you'll have a right harvest home. :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

[eighty+]

Cap'n Mac D'yuh Ken Mon what they say in the Heelands On yuh Bike Mon ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D POZDRAWSKI :p :cool: :cool:

[Alexandra]

A beautiful forest scene, Eighty, I like it very much. I love the all the seasons, except summer, here very tough-too hot and humid. Your painting makes me wish I were there taking a nice walk.

[coops]

Hi dear Eighty. sorry havent been around but I have been checking your wonderful Paintings, keep them coming. Things a little strained at the moment be around when I can. Take care and keep well:)

[eighty+]

Hi Sandy Yeah wouldn't we Both ;):D:D:D POZDRAWSKI


Hi Madam Katie of the Moara and keeper of the North-East Gate so you have problem's well think of poor Richard III he had problem's too and look what that got him

Stuck under a car park in Leicester ok so keep calm and relax and lets see some more of your picture's as we're all waiting ok ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D POZDRAWSKI

[D Akey]

Well, this pic shows beyond a shadow of a doobt that Richard was no an 'oonchback at all. He were a mere victim of the gentlemanly tailors of the times. All that armor an' an crown on 'is pate, why it's enough ta bend the spine o' all boot tha lowliest in tha realm. Heavy weighs the crown, not to mention the chain mail and weaponry. 'E should ha'e gone with Elven mithril. But had he been straight an' true, where would Sir Lawrence Olivier have been?

So with all yer 'istoricity, yer due for an OBE next pass, for sure, Mr Ploos.

[eighty+]

Hi.
Cap'n Mac. Methinks that even if his armour was of eleven mithril would be of no good as he was

Was poisoned obvious by his nearest and dearest as normal gold put into their back pocket. Another

Judeas :eek: ;). :D:D:D:D:D:D:D. POZDRAWSKI

[eighty+]

Hi Sorry just messing around with the Tools ok ;) :D:D:D:D:D:D:D POZDRAWSKI

[D Akey]

Ah, the strong Saxon chin. . . Good one. Hope all your experiments are getting the tools in hand for ye. I like that you have her in the center of the bulls eye. Sort of emphasizes that for which you're aiming = a good portrait. Pull that bow like a yeoman, Mr Ploos. Stout fellow!

[eighty+]

Hi Cap'n Mac I've been sitting all day by the hole but no nothing come up ok so in desperation I've done a tart-up of DEEGAS Ballet dancer's sorry but thats

how the cookie crumbled today Ciao POZDRAWSKI ;) ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[D Akey]

Well, nice tarts by any standard, Mr Ploos. Trollops next, I suspicion. . . Go man go!!!!!! :eek::eek::cool::cool::o:o:o:p:p:p:):):):):)

Your Birches are looking great too with that bark texture really coming through.

[eighty+]

Hi Enug .... Bartrude ... Nah no Trouble he was a Pet but got too big for the bath he's only in the picture as he had heard that the TV was filming the gal's if you look

Just a thought Enug Is it hard to make a stencil???? and Bertrude is Bert realy Rude!! ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D:D CIAO POZDRAWSKI To U Both

[Enug]

So easy to make a stencil Eighty, right click on the layer containing the image you want as a stencil (be brave now, you can do it!) and you will get "New Layer from Stencil". There you have it - a stencil. Right click on the stencil and you get a whole lot of choices of what you can do with it.

[eighty+]

Hi Enug Thanks for the info will try later ok will post U the Results ??? come what may ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D POZDRAWSKI :cool::cool::cool:

[copespeak]

Just brilliant Eighty! I love your croc! It's never dull when we come to your thread. :) :) :)

[D Akey]

Go man go!!!!!!! Love your epic storytellin' ways, lad. Oh and that's a nice forest as well. :cool::cool::cool:

Hi up late so dug up Turner for a tart up he said you lazy BSTD why drag me up for an escuse :o :o :) :) :) :eek::eek: :cool::cool::cool::cool:

[D Akey]

Well, if he's really a Turner, you should get him in profile as well, showin' the lad in action, eh, Mr Ploos? Good pic. :cool::D:D:):):)

[eighty+]

Hi Cap'n Mac I don't think I've ever seen a profile of J.M.W. Turner ok this next one is of Wagner in profile ;):D which I Brought back for Belvrog who had sent me

a message that he had laying on his desk A 6 plate photo showing Wagner in Layer's which he thought might help me ok but so far I could'nt find how to get it out :confused:

[D Akey]

Hi Cap'n Mac I don't think I've ever seen a profile of J.M.W. Turner ok this next one is of Wagner in profile ;):D which I Brought back for Belvrog who had sent me

a message that he had laying on his desk A 6 plate photo showing Wagner in Layer's which he thought might help me ok but so far I could'nt find how to get it out :confused:

Wagner in Layers. Wasn't that a novel? No wait, might have been Counting Wagner's Rings, by Tolkien, wasn't it?

Well a period profile is a period profile, yeee by gum, lad. Looks good. But if I take your meaning, I think you open Belvrog's file if it's an ArtRage file that was saved with layers, it should open with layers, no? So open it and look at the layers palette and you would know for sure (I think).

Anyway, Go Man Go!!!!!!!

[eighty+]

hi Cap'n Mac thanks but I think its with the Message ok will have another look at the message ok CIAO POZDRAWSKI :cool::cool::cool:


hi Bertrude and Enug thanks for your help sorry Enug but I pinched your Bambino ok Ciao ;);):D:D:D:D:D:D:D as the Irish Say SLAINTE

[Bertrude]

Sweet sixteen year old girl I even asked Max Miller and E said NAH ;) ;):D:D:D:D:D:D:D POZDRAWSKI

[copespeak]

She's such a sweet little gal Mr Ploos! The way you have put together her facial features makes her just delightful. Well interpreted and painted! :cool:

[D Akey]

Mr Ploos! Get that lassie's bonnet roped down whilst she be on the upper deck o' that there Ploos Boos! Sketch 'er quick afore she floats off on the jet stream. Cute lassie. Maybe at the next stop ye could buy her a shirley temple? She wants ta sit for ye. Best move in now afore Caesar gets back and tosses her to one o' tha satyrs.

Go man go!!!!!!

[eighty+]

Hi Robbie Cap'n Mac Thanks But after looking at her this morning I've taken a chunk of the (her) left side of her face and

tried to sort out the Eye Ok see what you think !! ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D KIA ORA POZDRAWSKI :cool: :cool: :cool:

[Jonquil]

Very good! You fixed her face nicely. Love that hat and the whole thing. :)

[eighty+]

Thanks Jonquil yeah I noticed even now her mouth needs moveing coss in the smashing and bashing I had to twist

her nose thats why the mouth is out of alinement what I should have done was to wipe the face away

and start afresh think it might have been quicker in the long run but being lazy took the easy route

I thought :eek::eek::eek: ;);) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

POZDRAWSKI coss a like the sound of it and it roll's off the tonque nicely :p

[Jonquil]

I did think about her mouth eighty+, but decided it was quirky and added to her expression very nicely. it's as if she has pursed her lips around a bit and I like it as I love expression work. I would not like to see you wipe her face out and do it again. it never quite looks like the original idea/concept when people do that. (well, perhaps some people can accomplish that). Why aren't you in bed asleep? :)
PS Do you do all your work with the artrage paint?

[eighty+]

Hi Jonquil pleased you notice her mouth and for you thinking it was Quirky I like That so will leave as is Ok

This quick Sketch with the Oil Brush is the first time I've tried with it it was a bit like drawing with Charcoal

and I must admit I did Enjoy it the setting I've bunged on the sketch luckly for me were there already when

I started I've put them on the sketch so i will remember them ok CIAO and thanks POZDRAWSKI ;) :D:D:D

[eighty+]

Hi Jonquil your question sorry about paint yes artrage only . That chap who done the forrest for the work room said

he went to art supplies so I went to look but it was too high tec for me so come out !! but it should be ok for you

Ok yes I've been out on the Bus to the big town :cool: and I've done 4 Bus Sketch'es should have done more but felt

[D Akey]

Good on ya lad! Gettin' oot an' aboot on the Ploos Boos. Nothin' could be fainer.

I see ye ran inta Honore Daumier along tha way. Good one, that. I looked at it and thought ta meself tha ol' Mr Ploos be startin' ta look all French of a sudden. Boot then I figured it were a Chunnel boos tha ye got on in error tha' took ye clean across to the 18th century.

They used ta have a TV show here when I were a lad called The Time Tunnel. The producers and writers had no idea it would be The Time Chunnel what ye actually got operatin' -- just made for artists.

Good on ye. Fine work, gettin' ye all cross-pollinated and what not.

Go man go!!!!!!!!!!!! Pose-draw-scheme!!!!! :cool::cool::cool::D:D:D:D:):):):):cool::cool::coo l::D:D:D

[D Akey]

Fair bit of work there, Mr Ploos. Here's Andrew Loomis that everybody (including meself) tend to go on about as having written some really wonderful how-to-draw and paint classics.

Check it out. If you study some of his ways, you might get something out of it. Consider the internet as being the creative hole that provides inspiration and how to realize them.

Go laddie!!!!!! Draw-Pose-Scheme! :):):):):)

PS: I noticed that not every thumbnail image showed his work. So you can see whether it's his when you click on the images for a better look and link. Just pick the good stuff when you tiptoe through the thumbnails.

hi copy of M.Liepke ok his has orange red hair this one reminded me of Ruth Ellis who I think

Was the last women to be hung for her part in the Moor's Murder's and the mad bloke with

her tried to get ParoII recently but they refused thank goodness CIAO POZDRAWSKI

[D Akey]

Hi Cap'n Mac Thanks but I think I'm too old for Loomis would have been good 70 year's ago but haven't got time to Study now ok so will just plod on as usual :eek::):):(:(

CIAO POZDRAWSKI

Thought since you were on a path where you were out to copy everything in the art world that Loomis might be one you haven't yet. But no matter. It's his reputation as a teacher that took him out of the art category. It's true. It's a shame he'll never quite live down. :eek:;):p;):eek::eek::eek::eek:

[stevemawmv]

Hi Eighty....Really like the Liepke copy, Hair color don't matter, she looks great...
As for Liepke, very busy lad painting the ladies, some 'body' of work he's accomplished..Aye!
Take care,

SATCHMO!!!!!!!! YEOWZA!!!!!!!!

Really good likeness, Mr Ploos, and good job on the cello as well. :rolleyes::o:p:p:p:D:D:D:D:D That is, I mean the trumpet. I heard he was HUGE in France. So you reached into the Chunnel and pulled out an American from New Orleans. He was a huge influence on Django Reinhardt the originator of Gypsy Jazz guitar. Again we're on a similar wave length because this morning, because I was looking at guitar lessons on Gypsy Jazz, I was reading about him being influenced by Armstrong so much that he called him "his brother". And here you have done a great portrait of Louis Armstrong. :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

[eighty+]

Hi Steve. What s leeloo's Flew's???

[stevemawmv]

It's the title I gave the painting, plus little 'done wrongs' I noticed after I completed painting her...
Offset mouth, not centered nose and eyes, guess I' am ok though , no such thing as a perfect face!
It what keeps it interesting and unique.....Looking forward to you visiting my thread.
Take care friend,
Steve

It's Woody Allen, not Dustin Hoffman....
Nicely done regardless of what his name is...

[copespeak]

Eighty, as soon as I scrolled down to Woody Allen, I did a sharp intake of breath!

He's just brilliant, and being saved into my 'Eighty's Folder' for sure! Soooo good! :)

[eighty+]

Hi Steve yeah I knew who he is as I was painting him but when posting the only name I could think of was Justin' Hoffman ok must be my age you know ;):D. Yeah I always look at your. Work so I can go
And pull my hair out. But I never say much as there is such long queue. That my Pennysworth used

a practice oil on the IPad this morning after looking at who I thought was the sad clown !! The air in China must be good for Colour I'm thinking :):):)

[D Akey]

Really a trip watching you go from one style to the next all of a sudden. I love that lassay with the Gustav Klimpt era hairstyle. You got into modeling the features as well to good effect. I also think what works in that one is that you're attending to the composition as a whole painting. It feels very complete. Good on ye there, matey.

As to the next one of the fella, you may want to show a little moderation when doing your line work around certain features. Example is around the nose. You're hitting those darks a little hard, unless you want to really feature the nose in a big way because in reality it is not so dark and bold especially to the sides.

[eighty+]

Hi Cap'n Mac You do realalize that hole in one at the 18th put up with the great's even greater ;) :D :D :D:D

thank's but it was only a try while laying in bed on The IPad ok but will watch as i don't pay enouth attenstion like my speelling

[kenmo]

Great updates my friend....

[AndreaMG]

Hi Andy Where did you go Spain ;);) how did you get on with the Grid ?? any good CIAO STATTE BBUONU SI

I do love Spain (many years ago I went to the beautiful Barcelona visiting Dali's mastepieces) but my second home is in Liguria so I spent some time there. I found the grid very useful to get the exact proportions right away, but it is a double edge sword, it surely adds fidelity to the painting but it also subtracts some of your own touch, which is very very bad. I prefer using a two monitor setup to tranlate a picture (or another painting) into Artrage, but since this summer I only had my laptop where I'm forced to zoom in frequently with the risk of losing the whole perspective I used the grid function. CIAO :) Nice lady in blue ;)

[eighty+]

Hi Andy Looked it up Liguria its just down the road from you the beach'es look good if i was 60 younger I would be laying
on the beach wth a large Americano with lots of ice and slices of lemon watching all the bird's go Bye to hell with Sketching

Hello dear eighty, love your last paintings, how have you been doing, hope your weather is good too you, we will finally be going back to North Carolina, will still have to come back here every few weeks but it will be worth it to finally have our own home again, it has been a year and half that we have been in mother-in-laws house, never has felt like home, she doesn't like changes and cant really blame her as she lived here for over 50 yrs, well take care dear friend, talk soon

[eighty+]

Hello Pat Good to hear your ok has it been a year 11/2 only seem's like yesturday is mum in a nurseing home

now to be looked after ?? and your back to Carolina where the weather Warmer :D:D:D She must Be

about my Age :(:( ok CIAO SLAINTE POZDRAWSKI

[D Akey]

Bleedin' 'ell. . . what an amazing drawing Mr Ploos!!!!! I think you're onto something.

There's another bloke who's very famous, but not nearly as much to my tastes, but he was brilliant and a huge name in caricaturing. . . Al Hirschfeld. In his later years he had a big ol' white beard, so you might think he were stealin' yer style. Not sure if he sketched on busses tho. So you may have that market secured.

Hirschfeld was a lot more exaggerated, lyrical and designer-esque, but he somehow nailed the resemblance in the doggonedest ways. Loads of fun and surprises.

But I'm still a Mort Drucker fan to the bone. I love how he could tell stories in the most irreverent, silliest ways. And his drawings made me crazy trying to emulate him, which I did as a kid quite a bit.

Either artist is a gem.

But the thing that blows my mind is YOU really nailed it. Go Man Go!!!! You're Mad in the Magazine, Mr Ploos! :p:rolleyes:;):cool::eek::):D:rolleyes::p:cool:;)

(Doing my military time calculations. . . 12 from 15. . . Holy Time Zones Batman! Gettin' up at 3:15pm.)

Good on ye lad. Must have one appealing night life. For a time, I used to live in the night time. Was quiet and cooler and perfect for painting. Often times I would be going to bed when the sun was coming up or a little after. Getting up at 3pm was not unknown to me. But I was lucky enough to sleep whenever I wanted to and work whenever. One of the advantages of being an artist.

Go man go!!!!!!!!

[eighty+]

Yeah Mac its not good all i've done was to tart up the opera Singer on the IPad when 1st woke laying in bed

hope this 12 hour sleep stint don't last as I'm getting nothing Done it will take 3 day's to get back to normal

Hi dear ATPlus! Frantic work with so many artpieces recently!
You must feel split in these days when Scotland is considering to rebuild the Adrian wall ... curiously You're on the Roman side of the British mainland (Britannia) now and the country of the Roman Catholic Queen Mary is going to resurrect and drift apart after three centuries (with the celts of Wales and a mouthful of the Irish island still in, though) ... what a mess! Now I wonder what's going to be with the European Union ... I'll ask the Pope for a posthumous remission of Henry VIII and to pray for England and the pound ... LOL;):o

Hi Cap'n Mac yeah while laying in bed this Morning had a quick look at your Loomis on the IPad so had a couple of min's with the finger Sketching

Cool! But I would recommend that you perhaps not use your legs to draw with. The swelling may go down if you're not contorting so dramatically to get the pose right. Leave that to the dancers. We use our hands, lad. . . hands and tablet, that's the ticket.

Good to see you opened the page on Loomis. Taking your time and roaming around in that style could prove fun as well. But you also seem to have some really full dimensional drawings of the powdered wig boys (bet you like them for their hair color). So you're right in there with your ability level. I see it in many of your drawings. So maybe approach one of his drawings that way and see what comes of it.

Of course, the ol' quick sketch is fun as well. There's something cool about flipping the pencil around (or the stylus -- not so much the mouse for superior drawing control).

So crack on, lad! Crack open a banana, pour ye some cornflakes, and have at! Go man go!!!!!!!!

[eighty+]

hhi Cap'n Mac Had ago at Loomis God rest his Socks ;);):D:D but after doing the last one Skull's whe I moved it up it kept coming like

a roll of Toilet Paper :D:D so I clicked edit the crop whed it come up were the width was 960 and the higth 1160 the was a

extra 0 making it 11600 ok so I took the last zero of and clicked ok to my horror it had cut the the Zero off the width

as well and if you look at the Skull's you will see the've gone all blury ok ;):D:D:D:D ok that my lot with the frying pan Ciao


Oww yeah will do one of the Kid's later when I've got over the skock POZDRAWSKI

[D Akey]

Bravo Mr Ploos! Go man go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They look powerful good. Can't wait to see what's coomin next. . . As to the buggery with the zeroes, you'll discover that size matters. . . just as they get on aboot. Kind of a cool effect in a way, though I'll say you may be less froostrated when ye gets yer noombers a-werkin'.

Really looks like they should, other than that blurry bit, which I would chalk up to a firm grip on 'atmospheric effect' and a wee touch o' absinthe.

Really first rate proportions.

[D Akey]

Looks like you're getting a proper handle on the watercolor tool. Nice one Mr Ploos.

And there weren't no water in tha Scot. Nope. He be straight oop o' mebee on tha rocks.

Fun exploration of the wee heads. Gotta love a wee lass with a big ol' cigar, eh? A scene from behind the shed out of view of her mom. She and the Scottish lad been hanging oot some, I'd say by their decadent habits. Go man go!!!!!!!! :):):):):):):):)

[eighty+]

Hi Cap'n Mac Yeah the water brush is great for Quick Sketch'es plus I've lowered the angle of the Wacom so that may have helped the last 2 pages with the water brush

on the last page 3 of loomis the other's just made up to get the feel may stay on for praticeok CIAO POZDRAWSKI

It looks like You may use Your mouse pretty well too. it's not that difficult after all, is it? On a frontal face You may pre-sketch using symmetry if You are afraid to get excessive distortions between the two sides, as I did with the Sardinian mask.

Hi, dear friend! Are You leaving England before You need a Scottish visa to visit Nessie? LOL;):o

[eighty+]

aye tis ma grandfather Rennie

[eighty+]

Hi and the World Watch'es and Laugh's Could be your turn next :cool::cool::cool: POZDRAWSKI

[D Akey]

Would love to know the meaning behind some of these. But the mystery is half the fun.

Are you saying that getting Scotland to separate from England is the USA's doing? Because the USA being separated from Scotland doesn't make sense. Anyway, it's a poser, for me anyway. Mr Ploos.

Ol' Honest Abe was in fact a man of few well chosen words. And he's beyond human, he's a symbol for integrity. So what I'm wondering is what there's going on your local tele, or perhaps in a personal stream of consciousness, that brings these things you're depicting into the forefront.

Cool paintings though. Go man go!!! Speak through those paintings.

:):):):):):cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::):):):):)

[eighty+]

hi Cap'n Mac Yeah we all see things from our own view points and not what where told ok

Yeah Steve I don't are what you say but that middle horse has got a wooden leg;):D:D:D KIA ORAWas told not to place my bet on a horse with a wooden leg, better spent on a merry go round carousel...for you always no the outcome of the ride, for those horses never tire...Hey, that inside horse is about to bump old woody there....

[eighty+]

Steve Yeah that's why I 've got my money. On the outside 1 Coss I think those two will be disqualifiyid

For bumping and boring. And heavy with the wips. ;):D :D:D. POZDRAWSKI

I think that horse might have been one that the planters jogged behind so as to put seed in the holes he leaves. A stout work horse, that one.

Say these are wild pics aren't they! Very bold and direct. Love that Joseph and his amazing technicolor dreamcoat has become the fashion rage around the planet. After all. . . we are the world, we are the children. . .

Good on ye matey. And yeah, I don't know what the appropriate length of time for paying one's respects is, so I certainly don't want to cause offense with impropriety in this case. I just didn't think about it. But good thinking. It makes sense.

Ach! Laddie, so true. . . politicians words are so much pablum. The take their pablum to an art form. Right Pablum Picassums the lot of em. . .

And 'ere now, best no be insultin' tha 'aggis, laddie. . . ye might raise their Scottish Eire. . . I mean Ire. . . no to mention their Gorge.

Nice work. I particularly LOVE that scratchy ol' self portrait. 'Tis brilliant as a caricature and the fast scribbly line is perfect and seems clever and off-handed all at once -- the sign of a cavalier cartoonist who can be brash and incising while nailing it square -- all at the same time.

Statte Buone! Le bon bon! And a doo wacka doo. Pose draw see!! ¡Vaya con dios a omnibus! Prost! Thrust and recover! and Go man go!!!!!!! YEEEEHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! (I think I'm getting the hang of this multi-lingual thing. . .)

My dear friend, unfortunately we cannot afford a retirement house for our very expensive old, blathering politicians with all the artistic features of our institutional palaces and a little parliamentary house to keep them excercising their void and silly propaganda ... We've got to keep them paid and in charge of fake tasks which don't keep them from uselessly express their haughty opinions.
Therefore I love much more Your British politicians who can still show some class and style when they retire. I start to believe that the last really good one we had was Augustus!
