ciriosity killed a cat....
I have new comissioned work arrive on Friday,
we'll revisit this topic next week.

Meanwhile....what you posted is not an art, but a sure way to alchoholism
;-))))

i am still curious, a few of my own favorites:

I like last two...with the bottom one being exceptionally good

ok, I'll jump the gun...
this si what's coming on Friday,
size 10 ft by 6 ft...

3 painting are in the world,
similar but not the same:
one at MikeAI's home,
one on Polk County Museum and
I'm gettinjg the third.

No that is heaven :yowsa:

Same here. I don't like squares - except my friends.

I'd call the photo of the Alcohol

"Cirrhosis on a shelf"

thats very nice, serge, very detailed...the .jpg does not do it justice, i bet it took a very long time to create

jesus

btw, my brother just got back from a tour of russia and while looking through his pictures, thought i would post the one at the russian liquor store

yeap, "Jesus"...
13 men,
and I named the piece
"The Last Supper, the New Generation"

care to guess where Jesus is in the painting?
;-)))

ahhh after James Michaels...

15 men

:-)))

NIck,
it's NOT after James Michaels,
it IS James Michaels and I asked him to remove 2 men because:
1) it wasn't enough negative space in there and looked a bit busy for my taste
2) number 13 is MORE classic than 15
;-)))

Art for Arts sake
Money for Gods sake


;-)))

yeap....I haven't bought a painting I didn't like, regardless of the name or price.

I'd rather have unknown I like and tell everybody it's not a Picasso than have real Picasso and tell everybody they should like it because it costs a lot
;-)))

My favorite painting is the one of my daughter by our overseas friends :)

But I like things with meaning , and as I said , Jesus faces away in your painting to me , as a sign of his shunning the world. ;-))

Literally turning his back on the modern world.

The reasons you gave me however are just as convincing ;-)))

well,
and look at the shere at the bottom.....for some reason all comissioned works I have DO have shere in them...the symbol of perfection of the Universe
;-)))

is world really that perfect or am I just delusional?
;-))))

this isn't the one in MikeAIs house
http://www.polkmuseumofart.org/conte...s/15men_l1.jpg

no, but there are some similarities...I likie Mike's more than this one

yeap, "Jesus"...

sure, if the name is the 'new generation', i am going to guess that he is the one
turned around, perhaps prechecked crosssells had something to do with it...the sleep of reason produces monsters

nick, very sharp

I wouldn't know about those things...I am from the "old generation"
;-)))

I hear that. I saw a piece recently. At a guess, i'd say the canvas was about 4 foot by 2 foot. Plain white, except for the very middle which had a 3 inch red square. Apparently, this was art, and i can't remember the exact number, but some idiot paid tens of thousands of dollars for it.

I am going to become a modern conceptual artist. Look out for work from Brendan O'Flaherty. I'm goign to lead them to believe that my fingerpainting is a deep reflection of modern society's decaying morality. It'll sell for millions.

I wonder if the weight of the cross they are building will support him. Looks like it is going to be pretty flimsy.

Colin,
you got it all wrong....
MY Jesus is allegorical Ashcroft and "apostols" carry sticks to beat up pornographers!
