Thank for posting that. I've always had a soft spot for Hockney.

The last Dail does look like Walt Disney, but it's actually Colonel Jack Warner of Warner Brothers.

There are some paintings in our past we'd like to remove from history. "Oh God not that thing" If this Balthus painting was created by myself, I'd have liked to redo it in this fashion. I'm imagining the model's hair is semi wet, so to keep in theme I'd have added a wrapped bath towel.

Renoir. He seems to go a bit off with his later years with depiction of faces. Most clearly seen with the placement and angle of the eyes. This is a very bad example.

I was going to post one or two howlers by Balthus, but his stuff seems to be disappearing from the internet. Possibly mostly his nudes, but as I can't see what's gone I can't be sure. Picking a merely so so image from a self-taught artist when he did far worse feels a bit off, so no picture for...

Picasso, Femme Assise Pres d'une Fenetre 1932. Sold for over 44 million, but I feel is a bit of a fail. It seems to try and combine and resolve his curves of this period with the geometric vertical and horizonal line ups of Mondrian. Instead of a dynamic contrast, I think it just comes off as...

Supposedly Rembrandt. Maybe he's under the restoration somewhere.

Another Dali.

Oh, dear lord that can't be real!

Let's feel a little better about our work by posting indifferent paintings by famous artists. After all no one's perfect. Salvador Dali. Portrait of Carmen Bordiu Franco.

I'd heard about the ARC thing. Quite embarrassing. Someone submits an AI image without the basic skills to completely reproduce it and also still copies its faults when it surprisingly gets accepted as an oil painting for the IRL show. BTW I also thought the nose was fine.

He died a few days ago at the age of 73. I would say there's a strong possibility that he gave me the push to not only please myself, but to exit one's personal ivory tower and please the viewer as well, and if for nothing else, I thank him for that.

Supposedly from 1910.* They must have added cadmium red shortly afterwards. Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about what they used. Just pick the modern ones closest and adjust in mixing. *Why isn't viridian in there?
