On a side note, my dad once told Big Ian to **** off at Belfast airport in the 70s. The Fire & Brimstone merchant had apparently commented on my father's tie (records don't show if it was a positive or negative comment though, and your humble author wasn't there to corroborate).

My uncle's the historian - propping himself up at an unused part of our family home (my Grandparents' farm, now his) in deepest, darkest Tyrone.

Portrait of a young girl

The sleeper

Woman with dove



Put me in your pocket...

Sedai...I love Renoir's "Luncheon of the Boating Party". It's gorgeous...and huge...in person. I wrote an paper on it when I was a young'n in college and I still have a thing for it.


This past year I bought two Alphonse Mucha's prints and had them framed.
"Precious Stones (Set of 4 )" and "Biscuits Lefevre".



And recently I just bought a signed Misha Lenn..."Spanish Dancer's" which can't find online anywhere, but the style is similar this one of his...only with brighter colors.



me too, i think he innovated a lot specially in photography

Donna

Black and white



i also like a lot those that you posted Aniko, didnt know the last one



In Soviet America, you sue MPAA!
It's a little... different than what has been posted, but it is a favorite and a signed print of it happens to be the only thing hanging on the walls in my apartment. Brandon Bird's, The Anguish:

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but
now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
