That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 23, 2013

Too hot to touch…

Looks like lightening in the background.

guess i’ll be late for the easter egg hunt

I closed my eyes to give Peter a hug and next thing you know, I’m holding this thing

“That’s another fine mess you’ve gotten me into.”

Um, El Greco was Greek. (Isn’t that obvious?!)

Um, El Greco was Spanish. I visited the museum in his birthplace. They say he died mad…when you see his paintings in chronological order, it’s easy to imagine that.

El Greco, EEU

Jesus, waiting at the crosswalk for the light to turn green, 1577

Sing..O I’ve been working on the railroad…hum! just a tie away.

Click-to-enlarge image can be found here, or at the only work, by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog.Christ Carrying the Cross (link shows his Wikipedia page) is shown, with a different coloration (enlarged, or humongous) image, and described, by its current-location page.Another different coloration image can be found here, along with a description, which mentions the artist (long discussion) created seven such paintings.One of them can be found here (different coloration image on an alternate page). It is almost identical to this painting, and was painted around the time Mr. Melcher and Wikimedia (used to) say this was (actually painted around 25 years later).This (devoted to artist) discusses both(?) along with another different coloration, click-to-enlarge image, also found here.Another by this artist, with the same title, can be seen here, on loan by its owner since 1988. Many different coloration, or detail images of them are available online.Since @Luz-de-Luna has already provided the Wikipedia page link (thanks!), the artist’s Catholic Encyclopedia bio, and Wikimedia collection (many more under Subcategories at each level).

“T.G.I.F.!”

This spot lampoons Christianity on a pretty regular basis. Mostly, I take it in good humor. And I realize Christianity has has created a large body of art to choose from.-But still I wonder, would certain other religions be as understanding of the humor here if they were being lampooned?-Anyway, I think El Greco, and Salvador Dali are my favorite artists. Dali’s Last Supper is trancendental. El Greco’s work is emotional – but I think he blew the left hand on this one.

Brilliant ! Back of the net !

yoww!!

“Always look on the bright side of life…”

Not a very practical way to drag the cross – the long dimension should trail rather than jutting out front. Perhaps if he looked down instead of up…

Let’s see if you have the guts to do one similar on Mohammed. Bet you do not have the guts. SISSY!!!!!

Here is another work attributed to this artist.
