Love the Munnings, I had never heard of him either, thanks for pointing him out, looking him up it seems he specialized in horses...
Also, I really really like that nosewarmer lovat at the Scottish Arts Club!
Vincent Bennett

Robert Deyber - "The Pipe Dream"

^ 200 years separate the paintings and it looks like it could be the same pipe. I'm looking at my Tsuge wondering if it'll still be around in 200 years. I guess the real question is will there be tobacco to put in a pipe in 200 years.

That gives me a headache. I'm going to visit some troll looking peasants.

 

[simnettpratt]

Nah, get some more peasants with boobs, dadgummit.
Thank you ed.

LOL
Couldn't find any provincial peasantry,

close enough?

:P

 

[misterlowercase]

This is a bit better though...

 

[simnettpratt]

Wow. I like art. Thanks lowercase.

 

[prndl]

word.
I may have to change my avatar.

 

[simnettpratt]

I like your avatar, pr, though I would understand.

 

[claypipesarchaeologist]

To keep the theme going...

You like the chubbies, right, Dave?

The guy leaning on the support beam in the Adriaen Brouwer looks like he's going to relieve himself..

As I've been on my art museum tour I've noticed that naked women are painted and appreciated, no matter what size or shape. The naked men in these museums all have the same shape, trim, six pack abs, etc. However where they vary is in the size and shape of their appendage. All these hundreds of years trying to live up to that ideal body. I can't tell you how...oh,wait

 

[simnettpratt]

No ed, I don't like the fat girl. If I got to know her, I might. But she has an ugly butt. I like the lowercase pic. Beautiful girl. Now elevate ed. We get to be adults here, let's not ruin this magnificant thread.
You're the curator of the museum of pipe art. Stay true.

 

[claypipesarchaeologist]

I'll tell you something, ed, I can't stand those sculpted male bodies. I consider a six pack a sign that the person cares too much about their body, and that takes time away from things that I actually value...like reading a book.
I looked up nude males and you are absolutely right. They all seem to be the same. What a shame.

 

[simnettpratt]

I was mad at you there ed, but I'm not anymore. Your last post said it. I'm sorry I was mad.

 

[simnettpratt]

ed, I attributed a post by archy to you. I'm sorry; I was wrong. archy, no I don't like chubby chicks. I do like healthy chicks. I'm just some guy.
