That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 16, 2014

No better alarm clock than Mom.

What a rude awakening!

A lot of symbolism in that painting

Cupid deserves this.

“You’ve been a VERY naughty little putto, but I won’t tell my husband — this time.”

Nor maybe not the next time, neither — nor the time after that, nor the time after that….

Mom is just calling for a cigarette aprez l’amour.

I believe this requires a John Lustig caption.

Billy Barty experiments with old school growth hormone

He got tired from hoofing it.

“Clang, clang, clang went the trolley……..”

Cupid gets a rimshot!

Better looking than the drill sergeant that used to bang the garbage can lids together at 5am in boot camp.

This miss has been at the frat house before.

Click-to-enlarge image can be found here (along with a description), or at the only work, by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog (no cursor).Reclining Bacchante Playing the Cymbals (link shows Wikipedia page) is privately owned (auction record).The artist also painted a 1783 version. A click-to-enlarge image of it can be found here. Ignore the date currently listed there. 1783 is below his name, diagonally on the side of the bust on the right. It is easier to see if you interactively zoom in on the image in its most recent auction record, which identifies the sleeper as a faun.The prominent difference between the two is between the cymbals — no tall tree(s) in the 1783 version.He also painted a much smaller version; but its auction record (of actually 2 paintings sold as a set), while it has an image, has no date. The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated French Wikipedia page has more) and collection.

CLAP ON… ♪♪CLAP OFF… ♪♪

Cupid pulled an all nighter working prom season.

It’s one of those fainting goatlegs about to become a screaming goatleg.

this maybe one of the stranger poses I’ve seen in a painting.

“I tell you, Aphrodite, you wouldn’t BELIEVE the shlong onhim!!!!”

Hey, Melcher! Did you know you can set the size of the cursor to other things, like a tiny one-pixel dot? Hmmm?

Look at where Bacchante’s left leg emerges from the body, especially the underside. It’s too low, even appearing detached. Can the artist have misjudged the proportions so badly?

She really misunderstood when he said to her, “Let’s go crash…”

“Cupid” backwards is “dipuc”, but Eros backwards is Sore….
