Pictures I like

[Opus106]

I don't get it: pictures NSFW (of varying degrees) are displayed in their full glory, while an artistic creation gets a hyperlink?

In any case, thanks for posting it, Karl. I'd never seen the textures pop-out like that before in a photograph.

Brushwork as one dimension of the artistry. Marvelous!

Thanks for the van Gogh, and the Turner, too - both were masterful users of the brush.

NSFW (or NSFL). Internet is here (click for readable size, etc).

Speaking as a heterosexual male:  I'd rather have sex with Josh Robertson.

It's a gif and am testing to see if it works.

Amazing how much one of these celebrities can change in such a short amount of time. Pretty ridiculous and vain actually.

Wow...look at the size of those vases! What do you put in them? Oak trees? 

That is a gorgeous painting though.

And those vases are in the museum, standing before the canvas.  They joked about the debris found inside when they were moving them . . . .

How large is the canvas, Karl? I was surprised by the size of Sargent's Portrait of Madame X: almost lifesize.

Mrs Rock just asked me if they found any remains of children in the vases.
