Postage stamps again today, aside from that, my favourite painting.

Apparently I’m missing the pointillism.

Picture on the right: Last of the Snowman.

The lonely life of a football widow.

A somewhat enlarged image can be found at the only work(s), by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog (yesterday). Both are cropped images of the full paintings.Oil Sketch for “La Grande Jatte” (link shows final painting’s Wikipedia page), on the left, is shown, with a different coloration, enlarged image, and described, by its current-location page. But, it is an oil on panel sketch.Seated Figures, Study for “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte”, on the right, is shown, with an enlarged, framed image, and described, by its current-location page (can enlarge there).The first description says it is one of 24 painted studies for the final painting. The second description says there were “roughly 30”; maybe that’s close enough for Harvard (never took a Math. test there, got my B. Math. degree elsewhere; so I wouldn’t know). The artist’s Wikipedia page and collection (more under Subcategories at each level).Second time, a work, by this artist, has appeared here.

Before: No wind. After: breaking wind.

Too many bean burritos from 7-11 can make you unpopular.

Thanks for pointing that out.
