choffer Posted March 27, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2018 Probably not in keeping with much on this thread but I loved this painting as it's the Harris beach we used to play on as kids. Now pride of place in the dining room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Leonardo DiCaprio I think it's called the sixteenth chapel. I thought one before it, the fifteenth chapel was better myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted April 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2018 There has been some really great stuff I'd never seen before on that BBC series "Civilisations". Well worth watching. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) Had an invite to Whitehall galleries this weekend for their 10th anniversary in merry hill. So I took the wife today as we've bought 3 Henderson cicz's this year. Really pleased with them. So we went, we knew there'd be fizzy wine and cakes and stuff, a few lowries (sp?) and a couple of Picasso's, so interesting.. Bought another-f****g-one haven't we? Probably my fave. A guy called John waterhouse, the piece is called "free time". Evokes a lot of ww1 with a bit of hope and happiness in amongst the loss (which might be an odd interpretation of it to be honest) just because of the landscape. Here's the link if you're interested. http://www.arthouse-gallery.co.uk/epages/BT3958.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT3958/Products/"freetime+john+waterhouse"&Locale=en_GB Edited April 30, 2018 by lapal_fan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really didn't want to do it, Felt wrong even though it was just a print. Edited May 8, 2018 by sexbelowsound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cut out all the face features and glue them into their rightful positions. The finished article shows that Picasso was actually a good little doodler. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of Lord of the Rings. I don’t think I’d have paid that amount for it though, not unless some little back-office nerd sketched Frodo, Sam and Gollum into it.

Yeah, I like his work a lot. Check out Scott Naismith's work. He uses a similar array of colours and marks but his work is mostly inspired by the Scottish landscape.

I can’t imagine it would have made it there if I was still living with the ex. Edit - sorry should say it’s by an American artist called Paine Proffitt who’s based in Stoke. There are other Villa prints to choose from. In addition to the above, I’ve finally got around to hanging this up, in what I guess would be my “man cave”. This was bought on a trip to the Isle of Wight in 1994 when I was young enough and naive enough to think that John Fashanu was an exciting signing. Judging by the honours list, I assume it was drawn prior to the 1994 league cup final. Edited August 15, 2018 by Shropshire Lad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
