Art

[Cels]

Was going to start a 'Weird/Unexplained' type thread to put these two paintings, and similar stuff, in... but decided against it.

​

The first painting below appears to have a native American using a smartphone/iPhone in it, whilst the second painting appears to show a woman doing the same as she walks along the path. I'm assuming that in both cases these people are looking at a prayer book or daily devotional of some sort. Not sure what's going on in the bottom left of the first painting, looks like the lady is getting ready to give out a 'blowy'.

Mr Pynchon and the Settling of Springfield (c1930s)

Visited Beyond The Streets at the Saatchi Gallery today so was fortunate to miss the match.
Highly recommended for anyone who likes that sort of thing.

For a 95th birthday treat I took Mum to the filming of Portrait Artist of the Year today. Here she is chatting to the programme's joint presenter, and Spurs fan, Stephen Mangan.

Paul Simonon from the Clash. He saw himself as an artist who played bass on the side. I love his work

I love Portrait Artist of the Year

Thanks. It'll be aired in September. I always appear during the programme and Mum certainly will as she was front and centre most of the time. Although the two we were at were only ten days apart, there'll be four versions of me: with full beard and glasses, with full beard and no glasses, goatee and glasses and goatee and no glasses!

It's amazing how artistic people excel at more than one branch of art. Love this style.

I like this stuff. Turbulent is the word that comes to mind.

Great artist. Captures the sense of loneliness, detachment, sorrow, etc. in his work.
