Re: The Whistler Gallery, NEW and Gluten Free

There's also the fact that a woman, even nude, can still retain some measure of modesty. A man must either be carefully posed or covered in some way, or the average viewer (and I am trying to sell these pictures, you know) becomes uncomfortable and looks away. After a while, this concern becomes tir...

Re: The Whistler Gallery, NEW and Gluten Free

And plenty of people with facts are still delusional. Stupidity is without prejudice, happy to embrace one and all.

Re: The Whistler Gallery, NEW and Gluten Free

I had a number of male nudes, but nobody seemed to care for them. It was very strange. From a purely artistic standpoint, the female form suits my style better because its beauty lies in its elegant, graceful lines. The male form is more sculptural. That’s why Michelangelo, being primarily a sculpto...

Re: The Whistler Gallery, NEW and Gluten Free

Well, somebody has the right priorities. Your admiration level is adequate. I am fiercely politically incorrect in the “social justice warrior” sense, which I see as shallow and self-serving. But sometimes I do feel the need to address serious subjects because...well, because I can. I have several H...

Re: The Whistler Gallery, NEW and Gluten Free

You know what’s missing here? An adequate level of admiration for ME.

I’m not saying that it’s all about me, but it is.

Re: The Whistler Gallery, NEW and Gluten Free

I am clearly not setting the world on fire.

It may be time for explicit nudity.

Re: The Whistler Gallery, NEW and Gluten Free

Landscape For the Little Tramp Tolkien called Hitler "the Little Tramp" in mockery of his Chaplinesque mustache. Perfect name, I think! Anyway, Hitler declared that anyone painting in a modern style (for example, painting a green sky with blue grass) ought to be sterilized. So I painted th...

Re: The Whistler Gallery, NEW and Gluten Free

I'm posting only digital here.

That last one would have been a nightmare to paint in traditional media. I wouldn't even have made the attempt.

Re: The Whistler Gallery, NEW and Gluten Free

Ah, thank you!

I have several more styles that will appear, sooner or later.

I would like to think that my versatility is evidence of awesome talent, but I fear that it's just multiple personality disorder.

View From the Bughouse

Thomas Hart Benton (who taught Jackson Pollock, oddly enough) described modern art as "bughouse painting."

So this one was painted from the Bughouse.

It's not so bad here. On Tuesdays we get chocolate pudding.
