A little more tinkering in odd moments.

Semi-tech phobic Boomer playing with Krita. Haven't a clue what I'm doing or can do, so just using it to sketch out ideas and possibly use those to make paintings later. I've been pulling images out of my childhood. Things I don't see anymore. Get the idea down quickly before it's lost and then...

Sounds like a variation of SID (Support Induced Discoloration) For the first few weeks, until they harden up more, many acrylic polymers can pick up staining dissolvable elements from the support. Most often seen with darker woods and similarly darker woven fabrics such as jute. Or at least it's...

I apologise that I can't dedicate much time to this. Basically, I have a feeling and are trying to place why after the fact. The placement of table wear seems odd in the first in that one I can't be sure that some of them aren't occupying parts of the same space or that some parts of the...

I'm getting an internal AI ping from some of those pictures. They're still very good but I'm interested in what might be his process.

Still life in French or Italian translates to a suggested double meaning of 'death life' so sometimes they were used deliberately as a hidden message on the briefness of life. So, it's possible Goya was taking this and running with it.

Sheeren's Pollocks had me a bit confused. They seem professional, (real?) but poorer versions of his best work. Turns out they're by Ed Sheeren himself.

'America' was stolen and broken up never to be recovered. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the artist considers this event to be now part of the artwork. Banana taped to the wall was another of his pieces.

'America'. By Maurizio Cattelan 2016.

So obvious it must have already been done.

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...
