Its an awesome painting.

Your Russian guy is good!Especialy at those prices.

:-))

Fabulous painting!
:okthumb:

Serge I think this could be a potential new business!!

I have some wall space where some nice art would fill in perfectly!

:D

I was thinking of forwarding some photos of my kids and turn them into oil paintings for my wife's Xmass present actually :-)

I'll give you his contact info when you need it...
there is only one bitch...shipping costs
;-(((

but...the overall price is still pennies on the dollar
;-))

I'm more of a Van Gogh man myself, but :okthumb: .

damn, that is talent. how long does something like that take?

i gotta agree with MikeAI on this 1, im sure there are a ton of people who would buy that kinda stuff faster then he could paint it

I don't know how long did it take for the original, but my piece was doine rather fast...

That's a really nice painting, Serge.

Thks Serge , very much :-)))

I've already hit him up , hopefully he can do it by Xmass :-)

he might do it in a week but...he needs
Ministry of Culture permission to ship it abroad!
Oh mother Russia
;-))

I'm sure you can have it in 4 weeks..

hubby ,

With Van gogh ,...... you know if with your hand , by putting it in front of your eye you "block out" certain parts of his paintings , in the example say below ( one of his paintings of his bedroom in Arles) , block out his bed.

You will see the whole "feeling" of his painting changes.

Becomes colder , and more depressed.

Try it :-)

Not a lot of people no that ;-0)))

Its art appreciation friday I guess ;-)))

when I retire 100%,
I'll open art gallery....the MOST expensive one
;-)))

I am SO unartistic - all I noticed was that the bed was no longer in the painting. :(

Can this guy paint dogs playing pool? That's the limit of my appreciation of art.

Ulfie....
on the second thought, I say nothing

I have nothing against art. I just don't understand it. I look at that Picasso and it says to me this guy was whacked out of his gourd when he painted that. You look at it and see a thing of beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Serge there's an auction coming up here in Norfolk where they're going to be auctioning off real Picasso paintings.
You want me to get you the info? They keep running a notice about it on the talk radio.

no, thanks.
Out of my league....
"Man should know his limitations"
;-))

From a decidely unartistic person, I can still see why art brings out emotions in people.

I liked both what serge and nick posted.

Bullshit !! :)

You have a good eye.

Except in throw pillows.

hehe

ahahahahahaha ok, thats true :-)))

if you and K are here for Xmass or whatever , don't be a stranger ,eh? :-)))

and still...
I bite the tongue and say nothing...

I did it TWICE......in my entire board history, all on one day
;-))

They were all on the absinth. Made them paint pretty colours. ;-)))

Made me a twat. ;-)))

Thanks for the invite. Me and Kris are down here for the holidays to spend with my kids. :)

Awesome!!!

Remember , the invite stands , anytime...anytime at all :)

I'm honored. :D

Maybe one day you can teach me about art.

Serge - I thought the initial pics look convincing, but the new one is nothing short of AMAZING!!! Considering the price .. it just can't be beat! The next room in the house I decide to tackle for decorations I will want to get in touch with this guy!! :wnw:

Ulfie, you said it..Art is not beer, it DOES require education. I wasn't born
with appretiation of fine art, I was taught and I'll be delighted to send some literature your way on the subject.

MikeW, if all goes well, you'll see this one in the house during TG dinner
;-))

I have "Drawing"s contact info and those guys DO work fast!

Exactly! :)

When you are shown stuff , like what the artist is doing , or why he did it like that , its really cool.

Looking forward to it ... and cooked GOOSE of course!! ;-))))

:rokk:

I disagree. You either have it or you don't. I grew up in a house where we went to museum after museum, I took Art History classes in both HS and college, I took art classes, my mother is a VERY gifted artist and my father and stepmother collect ancient Indian artwork and still travel to museums all over the world.

Don't get me wrong - I love art - all kinds - paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, architecture, glass, iron, etc. And there's some that literally takes my breath away. But I can't do what Nick said and see any difference in the emotion in that painting by putting my hand over the bed. :( I can't tell you where a shadow will fall on objects or what combination of them will evoke certain feelings. I've read about famous artists that will paint something and be frustrated until they add one small item to the painting - that's beyond my artistic abilities to even understand.

I think you have to have a talent for the process in order to appreciate it that deeply and understand all the small nuances. :)

Keep looking at the painting, and all I can think of is

"I wonder if they had any really good wine back in those days"

you better look at

http://www.oprano.com/msgboard/index.php?a...ab25d66db824d8b

and think of "what you gonna do when they come for you"?
;-))

Wow, Serge, you're in rare 'fuck with PhotoGregg' form today...why don't you go back to the thread where you're sucking Lens' asshole?
