That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 12, 2019

Ian was the most artistic sign maker in Aberdeen, but everyone knew they had to keep an eye on his spelling.

The amazing talent of this artist is that he was able to change the painting to a solitaire game as soon as the maid walked in.

“Geez, grab that bottle and get her out of here – it’s a sketch of her I’m working from.”

Everybody is eagerly awaiting the next episode of American Gothic.

If Henry had known a painting of Tom Brady being sacked was so popular he would have tripled the cost of admission for watching him paint it.

“which one a youse ordered the BAF…?”

this painting’s title is new sign for an old score and i confess that i’m puzzled what that means. he’s painting the sign to compensate for some kind of previous misdeed…?

Sooner or later they will tell the child to cover his eyes.

When he said he was going to paint the door, nobody thought it would be on canvas.

Of the 7 people depicted, the only one doing anything useful is the girl bringing water.

Prior to the invention of television people used to, WATCH THE PAINT DRY !

“He’s almost finished the all the number 7’s”

Can you see what it is yet?

As a child young Thomas was the village idiot, just sitting around, staring off into space and generally being useless, so everybody was so amazed that he now had a marketable skill

A brush with greatness?

Bob Bross the first

It’s called “ A New Sign for an Old Score”. It sold at Christies in 2006 for 4,800 pounds. I want to know what Glindoni meant by the title, but so far I’m striking out. Anybody else have better luck?

“And here is a happy little bush.”

The origin of the term “buffering”…

Old Dude: Look! He’s using red for the number 9 boxes when it calls for blue. The fool! Older Dude: Fool or GENIUS?!?! Oldest Dude: He’s just drunk…

Just bristle while you work. . . .

It was the most elaborate game of Pictionary, yet

“He’s not a REAL artist – he just an ‘illustrator’. You can tell because he knows perspective..”

if that painting on the wall is a sample of his previous painting, the kibitizers are not seeing much

“Now is when I finish up by signing the painting.

OOPS! RATS!

Now I have to start all over again!"

A New Sign for an Old Score: 

https://www.the-athenaeum.org/art/detail.php?id=216264 

has info and links that point to info about this painting. Not sure what Score refers to in this case – a memorable darts match? athletic contest? Searching old English, I couldn’t find anything other than it meaning the number 20 (doesn’t make a whole lot of sense in this instance). Maybe someone can enlighten me.

all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist (again, the askart.com can be read in full for free on Fridays), perhaps in addition to than what’s pointed to by the title URL. So far, 2 works by him have been used here.

has the prior (my comment there used the same artist info URLs).

“Give us a sign,O Lord !”

Bob Ross, the Early Years.

Before photography, artists had to paint pictures in order to have proof of cheating spouses.

“Everybody’s an f-ing critic! If any of you bumbling bumpkins think you can do any better, then you’re welcome to try! "

Maybe the title is misspelled. “New Sign for an Old Store” would make sense.

“I’m going to call it ‘Still Life with Hat.’ But can one of you please tell the head lice to stop moving around on the brim?”

There was heavy betting on how the tic-tac-toe game would turn out (e.g. watching the score).

the joke was on her, she didn’t know he was painting her in the nude.she was going to give the picture to her mom for her birthday. can she get her money back?

Jiminy Christmas! Is he painting the Mayor nude?

Today on Slow TV we watch Edmund Dickflicker recreate the Night Watch in glitter paint and pasta.

“More Colour!”“No, less colour!”“More on the left.”“No, to the right.”“What’s he doing?”“I don’t know?”
