Gericault

Just a random thought, I was just thinking, such a fine painter was Gericault, was he not?

Richard Baker, Artist

In my art appreciation, here is today's spotlight and it's on Richard Baker the painter who was called to my attention today for the first time.

Pink pearl (?), 2006

This film study murmurs to me in hushed tones - Shade, 2007

But especially, Tray Gray 2006, speaks volumes to me

Actually I am an artist too and have produced thousands of still-life works of art... but only using the medium of photography.

For example,

AI Imagery on Subject of Menswear

In more of my experiments in allowing AI to generate imagery from text using a demo version of a text-to-image program, here are some images on the subject of classic menswear which is one of the recurrent subjects in this blog and is my major interest.

First the King of classic style (if of nothing else) - Edward the Duke of Windsor.

Art on Arbat April 2021 Edition

 More in my series of artworks copy photographed (almost) on Moscow's famous Arbat street.

Original paintings displayed for sale on the Arbat.

3 piece fried eggs with greens.

Copy photography is where you use a camera to photograph and then possibly reproduce a work of art, say, for personal use or maybe even for sale haha.

And modern printing technology and cameras are quite capable and are nothing to sneeze at in this regard, even though mine is not one of such advanced cameras, but on the other hand I see that street art sellers are becoming increasingly weary of people with cameras, especially if it looks like they are positioning themselves to take a full size picture of a single painting.

I was personally shooed away once, believe it or not, even though I always try to be discreet when taking pictures without permission.

That's a tall ship.
