dear eighty+, all I can say is WOW you have taken these classic pieces and made them into your own style and they are very successful paintings in their own right. VERY IMPRESSIVE !...

There was a book title about the 1500s and it was called "A World Lit by Fire". This one is still of that vintage in the 1800s where they were yet to get electric light. You have a firelight feel to this, and those people are lucky to have something to eat. I never could figure whether Van Gogh was painting the dignity of the common man, which was a relatively new concept at the time, or whether it was showing the misery of the peasants and those spending their lives at toil in relative servitude and poverty. There's not a heck of a lot of humor to be gleaned within Vincent's paintings in general, though they can be magnificent. This one's a powerful image.

And you gave it power. That ye did Mr Ploos. Good one. Here now, pull up a spud and make yourself t'home.

Now there's a snooker player if ever there was. . .

Yeah, glass blowing and all the other manipulations of glass are absolutely fascinating.
When I was in Venice I never made it over to the island to check out the Morano Glass (I think it was called. World class stuff I heard.)

Sounds as if you had a full day. Now it's time to fill the larder. But keep the spuds out of the sunlight or they'll go green on ye. And that won't do at all.

Good job. Speaking of Italy, I guess Caesar came back. All you had to do to get him to come back was wave about a picture of that famous Scot lad, Giuseppe MacVerdi, and he comes a runnin' through the glen.

PoseDrawSki! y ¡Vaya con Snooker Doodles!
