[D Akey]

'Tis a rousin' tale, 'is adventurin'.

They needed a good Glasgow Scot ta keep the ship together on the way, so he signed on.

Later, seeking better prospects, 'e jumped ship in the New World for a life of adventure and stardom.

Played baseball, third base, for a time against the Cleveland Indians a few seasons, an' finally got commissioned onto the Starship Enterprise as the Ships Carpenter -- I mean Ship's Engineering Officer -- also for a couple seasons. Thereafter he showed up at Trekkie conventions selling autographs.

I see you have one of his pics, boot it's no signed. You need ta don yer sporran an' beam over to tha nearest convention, oh aye. Get ye an autograph while 'e's Earthbound.

[eighty+]

hi yeah. Was nearly in bed when thought l'd. Just have a quick look yeah

that was hours ago. :confused::mad::mad: CIAO. ploos. SLAINTE

[D Akey]

Intriguing setup, MacPloos. Makes me wonder whether this is an Art class in a girl's school where they wear uniforms, or if she's doing a self-portrait in front of a huge mirror. Anyway, I see the old master in the back passing the skills along to the younger generation. Good stoof.

Go man go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

[eighty+]

Yeah. Didn't. get up till the afterno when on the tv. All l called hear was them

Shouting about the rule of law with everybody laughing ok. CIAO. Ploos

ivaya. Con dios. slainte

[D Akey]

It's clearer yet. . .

1) So she's sat in front of a mirror with her back to the painter (which from the point of view is us viewers),

and 2) he's painting the reflection in the mirror of the lassie's reflection,

and 3) himself somewhat obscured by the canvas upon which he looks to be capturing this little hide and seek picture.

Ah, MacPloos, yer a crafty rascal, you are. . . all the while with you waking oop to the dulcet tones of Parliamentary stand up comedy. You should then use the dull thuds of the US Congress to put ye to sleep.

Like perscribed sleep aids, these lawmakers. . . for the most part.

Paint I tell you PAINT WHILE THE LAWS GET CHURNED OOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go man go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

[eighty+]

Hi. Yeah. Tiss. l ok you may not belive this. But the room was getting.

Smoke. and i relized that l had put in the cooker a small frozen toad in the

Hole. which would take about 25mins to cook. Ok that was about 2hours ago

now l'm. Looking. At a dish of. Burnt offering ow the joys. Of painting

Where you forget. Where you are: mad: Ciao. Ploos.

[D Akey]

So now ye got charcoal in the hole and can do lots of drawings.

In future, I'd say eat half the toad first and then ye kin use the other for makin' art supplies.

That way it be win-win.

And I'm right chuffed ye get into paintin' to that level.

Go man go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIGHTEOUS, BROTHER. . . . Righteous!!!!!!!!!

:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

[eighty+]

yeah again. I'v got confused as l had. Almost got into. Bed then l relized it
was to early so took a lock. At the burnt sausages hoping. That the insides
might be ok but no . Just. A small fraction. So sklpping a lot of back years
l could. Remember. Going winkling must have been in early thirties then coming home when mum would boiled them. And me and my 2older brothers
Wound. Get our pins. And hook the winkles out of thier shells which were tasty with bread and. Buttter :D:D:D CIAO Ploos

[D Akey]

Sounds very interesting about a time and place remote to me. So I have to ask:

What's winkling and what's a winkle? Is it a periwinkle flower? So would you go out with a pail and pick some and bring them home to mum to prepare as a meal (like picking wild berries)? And what's their taste like beyond the bread and butter?

Well, just be healthy and make sure you get enough to eat and go easy on the charcoal. . . and stay warm.


Oh, and I must say this lassie yer paintin' looks great as a starter. Your drawing's good.

Go man go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

[eighty+]

Hi Cap Mac. Yeah. Winkling. was popular. As was about 1//2a sq mile. Of.
rocks. More or less smooth with lots off little pools which would be home
for all small sea life. and winkles as we called them or small. Sea Snails why they were called. Winkles l don't now. Unless it was. You. had to winkle
them out of there shells with a needle that was good times. For kids as you can

Hi Cap Mac. Yeah. I did wonder if it was the son. Taking. The photo on his last visit to his mum and dad before going to fight at the frontline. We’re history tells us he got killed unfortunately the loss for his family and for us as he had the makings of
A great artist cut short in his prime ok. CIAO PLOOS. IVAYA CON DIOS SLAINTE

[D Akey]

"Jean Frédéric Bazille (December 6, 1841 – November 28, 1870) was a French Impressionist painter."

There were talented artists who made a name for themselves but died young, some in war, some from poverty or disease. Who knows what they might have created in their time.

I'm glad you put in a print of the original so I could do a look up of who he was. His name rang a bell but I wasn't really familiar with his work.

Reading a bit of his bio, he sounds like he was a complex individual who was looking for himself and died a warrior's death. It was touching that his father traveled to the battle site to recover his body. That father's act suggests to me a whole lot about their relationship.

It's interesting to me, Mr. Ploos, that your painting expeditions include learning about the artists as you look at their world through their eyes. It's awesome.

Go man go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ol' Winston. Excellent drawing. I actually like the background quite a lot.

I'm still scratching me head as to why he was tossed out after leading the winning war effort.

You were there. What changed the attitude of the people so much? Did they look at him like a plumber clearing a clogged drain, that when once cleared, pay him off and send him on his way?

I wonder if this is why Van Gogh never sold his paintings -- he kept tossing 'em onto the fire ta keep warm.

You know I could understand drawing with a charcoal briquette, toasting some weenies, and then tossing the charcoal drawing into the fire. I mean that's really gettin' the most out of your materials. Not so lost, these Dutchmen.

So great getting to ride along through your time travels. Yer a right Time Lord, you are.

It's a pretty cool use of paint re-enactments or repaints, finding paintings out there that let the memories come out for an day visit.

I'm finding I have memories and flights of fancy of my own popping to mind but they're most often gone as soon as I see 'em.

But your way, grabbing them in a painting seems to be way better, where you can go for a ride on a hay wain or go fishing with 'em.

When daily demands slow, it's a great gift to me to see that if I choose I can hang onto the good ones a bit longer as you've been doin'. A great trick, that.

Back a couple posts you have a picture that's nothing but a blank white rectangle.

So I thought ta meself, what could it be. And suddenly, when I heard the bleatin' through the sounds of whippin' winds, I thought that white on white could well be a white sheep hidden in white snow for a White Christmas theme, Scottish style.

In other words, ye posted a blank image. Boot as sooch, it's quite good.

No real surprise there that it could be either Asian or Native American Indian. Their genetics are connected.

Some scientists proved the ancestors of the Native American were cut from the same Asian cloth.

They must have come across the land bridge from Asia up near Alaska back when the Ice Age linked the continents way north. May have been following the herds that they used for food.

So ye have a good eye, oh aye. They're closely linked.

Now that you put in that red spot for the third eye I can see what you meant by Indian -- you meant from India -- not Native American.

So did the nurse come round for yer jab? Would that mean another name for 'visiting nurses' would be 'jabberwalkers'?

Quick! Fetch hither your copy of Alice in Wonderland, to see if you can identify her from the illustration of the jabberwock.

[Enug]

Loving this one Mr.Ploos - I don't remember it but then you are so prolific it's impossible to keep up.

Stay well and I hope you get that jab soon. Our jabs are supposed to begin rolling out next month. It's not considered an emergency here so it is delayed for more testing.

HOO! ROO!

Hi. Yeah. I'm up. Late. So just had my. Wheetbix. And a couple of cups of

coffee. Ok. and scan for something to draw ok found a girl in Mexico. Ok

But think its beyond. My. Scope. But tried a quick bash anyway. But while

There. I was frighten by the colour they use. On thier Paintings ok.

CIAO. Ploos. SlAINTE100998

[D Akey]

Fear not, lad. Yer right on track. I've no idea of the color they had in the original, but you know you can use the original painting as a palette to pick your paint colors right off it.

But then the original artist may have done some fancy brushwork, so I don't know how much of a challenge it might present to ya. But yours is lookin' right sweet as can be. Good taste, oh aye.

Also that old pic of the gal's face that June liked, I also think it's fabulous. . . nor do I recall seeing it. So if you hadn't said nuffink, we would ha'e taken it as bran' spankin' new, and so we would.

Go man GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
