Oh, indeedie, thanks!



It does look a little post-apocalyptic, to be honest :D

No tumble dryers in this place then.

Hello GMG Ladies! For you only.  ;)

There may be a minority of guys interested in such a pic also.  Not me...nice pic anyway.

I'm loving all the pics John posts, along with the comment below, as his avatar. :D

Before reading the print, I assumed the current one* was how the morphed John looked after listening to Messiaen. ;)




*Future reference: I think it's a magpie -- John had just finished listening to Rossini.

My cat climbed inside the box spring and is peeking out through the hole.

That's a beautiful kitty. :D Its nose looks like it's a patch of grey leather. Fancy!

Nice catch, маразм1.

So, does your cat actually have a grey nose and blue-and-yellow eyes, or did you selectively colour the photograph? :)

there was no photoshopping involved.  She is completely gray except for her eyes and tongue and inside of her mouth :)  She's a Russian blue mix.

Natural selective colouration, then. Very nice.

I like surrealism. I've always been attracted to the paintings of Yves Tanguy, outer-spacey, alternative universe, what life might be like on other planets or even inside our own minds....

If music be the food of love, hold the mayo.


Ten thumbs

here is one of the pictures I have a print of in my piano room. I saw this in Dublin and fell in love with it at once. The feeling of space beneath the trees is quite amazing.
A day may be a destiny; for life
Lives in but little—but that little teems
With some one chance, the balance of all time:
A look—a word—and we are wholly changed.

Well. It looks a bit like Michael Jackson.

Ouch!   ;D  Very clever, laddie!

One of my faves, too--unfortunately, like most of that school, he wasn't really much of a painter so the works are not as satisfying as photographic prints lead us to believe.  I guess that's to be expected among artists for whom the idea is what's important, not the process or the object.

No, actually Stanley Royle hails from Lancashire and much of his later work was done in Nova Scotia.
