That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 15, 2022

Dimitri decided to show his good side.

Greg was not one to show off his shortcomings.

Yes, doctor, I am ready for my exam.

/// This painting is called “Male Nude Lying,”

and, away from our gaze the guy’s shying.

Painter Lesser’s bold eyeing

seemed like peeping or spying,

so he shrank from what that was implying.

Floyd, J think your butt is broken, it has a big crack in it!

Toe prints on your sole?

Somewhat similar colors to yesterday’s, yet completely the opposite in every other way.

His dentist should have been a little more specific when he told him to “Get confortable then open-up and show him”.

Ah ! Posteriori !

A painter named Aleksander/

Displayed an inordinate candor/

He portrayed with great pride/

What he thought his best side/

And gave – not a glimpse – but a gander.

(Aleksander was prone to pander)

Nuthin could be drearier than a Russian’s pale posterior in the mor-or-ornin’…

Phttt. Just another face in the crowd.

Wow, this new tax code doesn’t leave much!

And hearing the “Snap” of the doctor’s examination glove, Julius knew the fun and games were now over.

“Oh, wait. Here comes my daughter’s Girl Scout Troop.”

Russian-Polish Gigolo.

I bet the grandmother and her bridge group were totally hip to the schedule. “Oh, go ahead, you two, don’t mind us!”

" When they said I won a free colonic wash, I thought they said a free watch! "

John was not too thrilled with the new party game, Pin the Tale on the Idiot. And sadly, it was his birthday party.

The model may not have great guns / But see how the light plays and runs / On his back and his side / Where the shadows collide? / You’ve just got to say, “Hey, dude! Great buns!”

Somehow, “Lesser-esque” never caught on the way “Rubens-esque” did.

The painting that put the @$$ in “crevasse”.

Toot

pfft

Greg, I told you to STOP doing that! It ISN’T FUNNY! And it STINKS!

Niiiiice. ;-)

Turns out the restaurant doesn’t appreciate it when you show up to your birthday party in your birthday suit.

So often, a painting depicting a nude / Is, at best, amateurishly crude. / But Lesser can be viewed / By the most uptight prude / Who’ll be most upset that it’s only a dude!

“Oh, wait …my error…Grannie and her friends ask that you please turn back around…”

Pierogi: the origin story.

The Rabbis like pondering the fate

of the people whom we call "the Late”

Just how much sin was in him,

Is he in Sheol or Gehinnom?

Let’s spend centuries on a debate!

Nude of the back of a reclining man:

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3029 (November 15, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. First work by this artist used here.

New title: “Buns of Remington Steele”

Oh god, the first g*y toon!

Why is this Russian-Polish artist painting the nude backside of a man?

Because you don’t want to see the nude Russian-Polish woman. /s

The skin tone is not correct for the normal Russian blue/white of winter.

It was the giggling and they all put up their phones for a shot or two. Truthfully, they all already knew about you and Greg. But you can be sure it will be the topic of conversation anyway. No doubt about how much they like the lighting.

Malory was losing hope that his new boyfriend was going to show up in time to help, so he started by himself.

“Still Life with Fruit Basket”

“Sir, excuse me, but you’re a bit under-dressed for the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton.”

“Moving from right to left” said the docent, “you may note that the model’s right foot seems slightly smaller than his left though the painter has very accurately adressed their lightly soiled soles. Further to the left Lesser becomes more interested in addressing the lightly soiled souls of his viewers…”

The emperor wakes up thinking “where did I leave my new clothes?”

The ladies shot pictures as they lingered. They may be old they ain’t dead!

That’s my kind of job, take off your clothes and pose.

Nice scapulae, vertebrae, and glutei! (Seriously, very nicely done anatomy here).
