Love it! You went straight to the heart with this one. Bravo lad!

Also love the Esmeralda one of Agnes Moorhead that you did of Jon's.

Looking great. So did you find your stuff (socks and stylus?) Hope so. Those elastic socks are what the doctor ordered for me as well. Supposed to keep the blood from pooling around the ankles and lower legs.

Keep painting! As I said, you're on a roll. Wooohooo!!!!

Hi A rough Copy of Chads Ok CIAO SLAINTE Thanks Chad yes I would just love a Chip

[eighty+]

Hi Chad Thanks I did enjoy trying OK :D :D :D :D :D :D: CIAO IVAYA CON DIOS SLAINTE

[D Akey]

So the question to you, MacPloos is whether ye take yer chips with vinegar like the Canadians or catsup like the Yanks? Are the Brits more with the vinegar and chips as well?

And we should toss in a few fish as well -- tartar sauce for me (before I was a vegetarian). Now I don't much sauce tarts.

Going out for a small celebration with some blokes and my 93 year old step-dad who is teetering between a walker and wheel chair. Guess where we're going?

Bowling. Yes, you visualized it right. Don't know if this is going to be like bowling with Peter Sellers as Dr. Strangelove or not. But he's a good sport. Knees shot though. But let the games begin!!!

Hope you're well. You ought to rent a basset or golden retriever who can fetch yer socks and stylus -- as opposed to your pipe and slippers. . . oh aye.

Go man go!!!!!

[eighty+]

Bowling yes did try many many moon ago when 1st came from the USA but not sure if is

still played at the moment the Yanks are trying to make us watch Their form of Rugby now it seems theve taken over our TV Channels just full of adverts so not worth watching

Ah yes, Evan. AKA "The Boss". I remember you painting him as a wee lad. Already cutting his teeth on the Irish Farmer's Journal. You talk about inheritin' a green thumb! The Emerald Isle has a fine, young traditionalist. Nice portrait. Your grandson?

Yeah, Durer has a way to put Time in perspective. Nice drawing.

Also wasn't that colorful lad a Schiele? I have a vague recollection of it from somewhere. Expressionist as I recall.

Lookin' fine, an' so ye are, Boyo.

T'was the Night Before Christmas an' all through the house, not a creature was stirrin', not even yer stylus.

Onward to many more. Go man go go go!!!!!!!

Hi Cap Mac just up midday looked out the window. And it's a bright sunny day. Ok so enjoy yours CIAO. SLAINTE

[D Akey]

Awesome. Good weather for both of us.

Bright and sunny here as well. Feeding animals which we shouldn't usually, but since the fires destroyed their habitat recently, I put out food. Have had everything from a handsome cat, a passel of raccoons, possums, and one very beautiful skunk -- who does not play well with some of the raccoons. But all's good here, thanks. Off to a family do for Christmas.

A bright cheery day to you too, lad!

Stay warm and hope you have something tasty and some folks to hang with.

Merry Christmas, Mac Ploos! ye blue-painted pagan!
All the best wishes to ye this season.

[D Akey]

It's like I can track your thinking, when you're inspired and when you're just fiddling until inspiration strikes. Looking for an emotional feeling to engage you to make it work as a painting. Very good way to go -- keeping the artwork moving, and knowing the inspiration will come at one point or the other, and if not, you had a chance to see if it went anywhere.

Very cool.

I can see you have a particularly warm feeling for the lassie and Evan The Lad.

Excellent. Go man go!!!!!!!!

[D Akey]

Say, she looks like she could talk and wish the best for the new year. Nice job.

Yeah, J. C. Leyendecker is the chap who did so many New Years babies, but he was also extremely stylistic for other illustrations as well. Example, he had the account for Arrow Shirts that showed particularly handsome men. Also not too shabby with ladies of high fashion and aristocratic flair.

Go man go!!!!!!!!! And again, all the best to you!

Yer tongue appendage might stick to it like a flagpole in winter, Shipmate, an' that would severely hamper yer blarney, and so it would.

I like the eating theme:
Wheaties through the Ages!

Looks good, that head one. I like that you got rid of that white outline. Feels much more solid. Very cunning with the Ides of March one in Parliament. Definitely has that "Shake! Spear! Kick 'em in the Rear!" vibe.

[D Akey]

Look at you circumnavigating the world in the thrilling days of yesteryear on the high seas. What adventure. I really like that starter of the lassie with the twin baskets too. Good stuff.

Go man go!

[eighty+]

Yeah Cap Mac I only get seasick on the high seas not like Jacktar who spent years be for Mast :D:D:D OK CIAO SLAINTE

[D Akey]

My dad was in the Navy for a while and was susceptible to sea sickness, but he said you acclimate after 2 days before the mast or behind it, hurling over the gunwale.

I've experienced sea sickness on short jaunts and it's one of my least favorite feelings ever. As a young lad, me family moved to LA and somehow dad decided going on an early fishing trip along the coast would be fun. It was pretty choppy. I distinctly remember throwing up into the mouth of a bass that was being reeled in by some stranger. And he might have won the pool for the biggest fish they had going -- even before the additional weight of me breakfast in the fish.

So knowing that, I foresee some salt in yer bilge.

So sign here, shipmate, for the next ship out. Ye can use an X.

[eighty+]

Hi Cap Mac yeah that's a fishy story ain't it ;) :D :D CIAO SLAINTE

[jonwood]

Nice work eighty+

[eighty+]

Time for a Coffee and sandwhich looks as if its going to be Banana :D:D:D ok CIAO SLAINTE

[Alexandra]

Wonderful additions, 80! The sea sickness brings back memories of a trip I made to the White Cliffs of Dover. So long ago before the chunnel. The waves were crashing against the sides of the ship, and my equilibrium was not able to keep up, well lets just say when my feet hit land I made sure I had dramamine tablets before I traveled back across again. The view was incredible though, one I will never forget. So beautiful. I loved England. Take care.

[eighty+]

Hi Sandy yes it seems we were all on the same Boat YUK YUK :D:D:D:D:D:D CIAO SLAINTE

Hi A quickie between sleep ok CIAO SLAINTE

[D Akey]

Go man go!!!!!!!

So let me ask you, when you fall asleep in the middle of a painting or at any time you've been thinking about it, do you dream about the subject, time or place you're painting?

I'm finding the more I sleep in short bursts the more I can track my dreams back to what I was about before nodding off.

[eighty+]

Hi Cap Mac no I don't think I Dream as the Brain closed down dreaming many Moons ago when I wake in the Night I've got to get up fast

Don't want to drown in your tea pee there, Geronimo. So nature spirits need you to wiki-up and drag yourself to closet of water by full moon.

The Indian's head is a little pinched at the top. You could simply fill out the hair and widen the top. I see you're returning to the Russian. Legendary on the West Coast of the USA. I believe he moved here and taught. Nicolai Fechin I believe is the chap who signed NF?
