Re: Lady With an Ermine and The Borgias

Do you know, I actually wasn't aware of any of this information (other than the info on Leonardo Da Vinci)? Then again I'm not all that learned on my Italian art history.
A very informative, and very interesting piece. I especially liked the little details mentioned about Ludovico Sforza's tarnished historical reputation and the tidbits of information about the Milanese court. I hope you keep writing about these kinds of subjects!

Re: The Sunflower Effect: Art Coming to Life (Part III)

Fascinating story. I do like how you manage to evoke such predatory imagery for the descriptions of the sunflowers, which has the very good side effect of making them seem almost reptilian and alien, which is exactly the effect you were going for. Another nice touch is the blurring of reality and fiction, and the doubt that is left in the reader's mind as to whether the whole event was something that really happened or a series of delusions from an impressionable, frightened mind. Very gripping and engaging. Kudos on making a painting and its subject so thoroughly threatening!

VERY good. An insightful and deep meditation on the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale. I think writing from first-person enhances the message and tone of the story rather effectively and the use of the Dali painting only serves to add to that enhancement. I also particularly like the jab at the over-idealization of swans in contemporary art culture. Speaking as someone whose uni loch had many, many swans living in it, those things are NASTY.
Thoroughly enjoyable!

Funny, I had this same experience today. And I have the print that hung in my grandparent's home. Are we related? LOL.

Re: How to Choose a Frame for Your Oil Painting

Roger Bail — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 17:29:06 -0000

To decide if your oil painting needs a warm or cool frame, take a look
at the colours within the painting. If there are mostly reds, oranges,
and browns, the painting is warm and will look best with a warm frame.
If the colours are mostly blues and greens the painting is cool. This
means that a cool frame will make it look fantastic!

I just watched "Play Misty for Me" starring Clint Eastwood. In the movie behind his bed is an abstract painting. I'm trying to find out who did it or where I can find a decent photo of it. Can anyone help?

Here is the painting in question. I have noticed many layers to this otherwise "silly but fun" 80's film, and the inclusion of a work of one of the masters, even a suspected lost work, fits well with the concept of a being who has lived a very long life. Although there are many other items of interest along similar lines, this ones stood out the most for me.

In Fright Night (1985) there is a large painting briefly seen just inside the door of Jarry Dandrich's (Chris Surrandon) house, seen when Charley is quickly ussured out by police after stating that Jerry is a vampire (approximately 19 and a half minutes in).

It has an appearance of a Rembrandt but I cannot confirm. Does anyone have an idea?

I am looking for information about a painting of a young girl with long red hair. My mom has this painting and has had it since the 70's. I saw the same painting in the background of the original "Footloose". It is in the scene where the family runs into the room of the girls after vandals throw a brick through the window. Just curious about the painting. Never seen it before until I watched the movie for like the 20th time. lol

I too am looking for that really large abstract painting in the movie New Moon. It's right above the table where Bella is pushed onto it by Edward in the birthday scene.

Finally, why does it matter so much HOW he died? In my opinion, what really matter is his paintings, his letter, the way he lived, his exemple (much more than simply cutting his earlobe! an artist of heart and inteligence, a true believer in the Brotherhood of Art...)
