Tracy, I apologize for missing your name; I know better. Please chalk it up to a super senior moment! I hope all is well with you health-wise and will remain so. Thanks, Ken
Stacy, Lacey, Gracie, Macy... just don't call me late for dessert! Not a problem!
shuffled back through the pages to check for repeats - saw some but not of this - "large interior w.II (after watteau)" by lucian freud):
Finger-pickin' a G chord on the ol' mandolin; before breakfast, maybe?
Bill,
That's a great image. Initially, it had an Andrew Wyeth feel but comparing styles this is a bit more painterly. But, the feelings it evokes are similar. Kind of an miasma with undertones of desperation, closeness but alienation at the same time, particularly in the figures flanking the player.
That's a cool print. I have a feeling she's not playing "Keep on the Sunny Side"

Lucien Freud is an amazing artist and he certainly knows how to elicit an emotional response, but I get depressed after looking at his work for more than a painting or two. Some of my painter friends who do figurative work think he's the greatest contemporary painter going. I guess with his canvases going for upwards of $33 million, a lot of folks agree.
Just one guy's opinion
