Better fill the walls with insulation for those wet, cold windy winters, and not picturesSince I've moved into a new home I need to fill the walls. I've been thinking of the following styles of art.
Italien Renn
Harlem Renn
Regionalism
Cubism
Neo-Primitivism.
I've also thrown in James Tissot but am not sure what style he falls under. Can anyone suggest some names?
LOL, yeah well that's why the Brits make it so hard to get a residency permit or citizenship. There's only so much room there.Porter has it a bit better than average too. She has a... I would guess condominium, in a converted Manor House. Have I got that right Porter? Well, Manor House, Converted into Air Base, converted into School... whatever, it sounds like a really nice place! High density housing is common there. Always has been, really. The Brits don't like wasting their farmland like we do here. All the same, there's tons of those old family seats with impoverished (by death taxes) aristocrats who need to face reality and do what they did with Porter's house. Many estates have what they called a Dowager's house, and the Aristo. could hole up there I suppose.
Take the Spencer's (as in Princess Diana's brother's) place. You could easily split it up into twenty or thirty spacious units! There are larger places in the countryside too! I would hate to see any more go the fate of Lowther Castle.
But I'm rambling, likely rather ignorantly too, again.Sorry.
You figure out a way Byrne, I'll hitch a ride with ya!
In the last 6 months the new postmistress (mistress ?) has been filling our PO Box with other people's mail. My wife used to turn in the misplaced mail, now she just shoves it back through the box. The wife did mention that she hasn't seen the blonde PM for awhile.
You know, I used to view the Post Office with mild annoyance. A place full of arrogant annoying people who just didn't give a crap about anyone who came through thier doors. There are a few exceptions. Our previous postmistress was an excellent example of this. Debbie nearly restored my faith in the USPS. However, the woman who replaced her is a jerk of the first order. This year her trick is to randomly pick a piece of important mail out and send it back with a notice my box is closed. They did this so often to my insurance carrier that I have to go into the office to pay now. People like her really make it easy to understand why people shoot postal employees and why some postal employees go... well... Postal.
Just... frustrating.

hmmm......can't believe its 25 years since I've visited London, except for the layover last year of 5 hr's. I spent most of my stay, which was 2 days, around Convent Gardens and the theatre district (Nunsense)and sang in one of the churches there.Did you visit either of the National Museums in the UK (London or Edinburgh) when you visited? If you had, I'm certain you would have enjoyed portions of them. The number of paintings depicting Christ is impressive.
Jonathon, there's always Thomas Kinkade.He's even infiltrated Britain with stores in most of the malls and I have to admit, I do like some of his work.
A very happy looking picture, Revrand. I do hope it works out for all four of you. Just for the record... I envy you both.
Beach, you sound like me! Now, if you'd got a Studebaker to begin with, that wouldn't be so much of an issue.Why, that part would be half the cost, or less. Then again, as broke as I am, LOL, it might as well be twice as much.
Beach, McNaughton's art is truely beautiful, if a bit costly. C'mon, five hundred dollars for a fancy poster???? Also, are you aware that the man is a Mormon? Having been involved with them, I'd advise against getting tangled up with them in any way. I like the man's work. I agree with most of his beliefs regarding this country and our government. However, he is influenced by the religious organization to which he is bound. Mormons are NOT Christians! Don't believe it when they tell you they are. They are not! McNaughton, may or may not be, but I wouldn't give much hope for it. Are you sure that you want the work of a such a non-chirstian in your house? Be careful my friend. He is preaching with his paintings.

Actually one of most prolific painters I saw was Cranach in Germany. His religious paintings are all over. Especially in Lutheran churches and museums. Him and his staff produced over 1000 paintings, if I remember correctly. He developed a porcess in his pigments that remain vibrant and clear even after 500 years. Many of the paintings still look like they were painted yesterday. He was brought to the forfront because he painted many pictures depicting Lutheran theology and he was also a contemporary of Luther.
Kincade and Benton and Bingham. The last 2 from Missouri
I think Renoir was study of the human interaction and the human form. Cranach, on the other hand, reminds me more of an illustrator of his time to express ideas in pictures. Some of his paintings are not grandiose expressions but rather staid in expression. Almost plain. A lot of his studies show Luthers ideas on a canvass. Intresting enough is Cranach played both sides of the fence. He did just as many paintings for the RCC as he did for Luther. I think he cranked out more paintings for Luther because he was an admirer of Luther and considered himself "Lutheran".I can hardly wait to see the art in Germany. We have to wait until our pup has met the requirements for her EU pet passport before we can go, though. That means 6 months of rabies vaccinations and testing, so it will be well into next year before we make that pilgrimage.
Cranach did produce some beautiful, light pieces, but I'll be surprised if it surpasses a Renoir. I could stare at his work endlessly. Oh, wait...I have...much to my husband's angst.
I learned rather quickly that going to art galleries alone is best for me.
Jonathon, there's always Thomas Kinkade.He's even infiltrated Britain with stores in most of the malls and I have to admit, I do like some of his work.
I would steer way clear of the ones that try to combine religion and politics, as some of the ones I see there are clearly confusing the two kingdoms.Here's the pics I would put in my house to remind me everyday of Him.

You know you should come to South Bend, we have the Studebaker Museum here. . . Ever been there?
To be honest I havn't, but I'm not really that into cars. They get me from place A to place B semi-comfortably and reliably with decent gas milage. . . thats a good car.
I'm not going to say which Renoirs I admire the most.
ummm...no Thomas Kinkade. I'll leave it there before I get band.
