That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for December 16, 2022

“When I said I wanted you to paint ships, I meant the ones I have down at the docks.”

/// Peter Monamy, painter of ships,

sees the frown on his rich patron’s lips.

Thomas Walker had paid

for a basking mermaid,

(and to watch while the young model strips).

I took artistic licence to turn your dinghy into a ship

Yes, this is a beautiful rendition of the battle. But why are you painting our ship as losing?

He really said BOOBS not BOATS.

This image as here presented is so darkened and obscure, that I had to search for it on the Internet in order to see things more clearly. The following is a link that explains a controversy concerning who painted the foreground characters.

Ach Ladie, ye filled in them numbers perfectly!!!"

“What do you mean you don’t see it? The image of man’s struggle against she vastness of despair practically jumps off the canvass.”

It’s Kansas, I did take a bit of “artistic license”

“Please purchase this painting, Sir. I am behind on this week’s rent for the studio, and the Landlord has refused to advance me new candles!” And then Thomas Walker tripped on the rug …

“Well you are getting two paintings for the price of one.”

It’s a nautical battle scene/

But the details can scarcely be seen./

Is the studio dim/

On a painterly whim-/

Or the canvas supremely unclean ?

Another missed opportunity to contribute to 18th century p0rn0gr@phy.

If you’re getting queasy sir, it may not be the painting but rather the fact that the floor seems to be quite off kilter.

Nae, nae, nae you idjit. Columbus had three ships – I see only two.

At least the client did not pay for shipping when he picked up in person.

“So, what’s it gonna take to get you behind the tiller of this little baby? We’re willing to deal.”

Yes, I thought it might be a bit confusing for the kids, so I made the bad guys, them, in black, and the good guys, us, in white.

“Well, it’s quite lovely, but you were supposed to draw Tippy the Turtle.”

Wait til you see the one that pirate commissioned for his booty…

“I’ll give you two pounds fer the frame”

“Now if you want to move up a bit, 100 Pounds for this Model. Seats 80.”

I like it!

you spelt “Bwooobs” wrong

“Unless you give me back my brush, there is no way I’m going to be able to finish this painting!”

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3045 (December 16, 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 pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. First work by this artist used here.

I’d like to see what the artist could come up with if he DIDN’T misunderstand the request!

What is ChatGPT?

i just bought it for $1.50 you can have it for $1.25

What is this? I told you to paint my daughter!

I did kind sir. See in the lower left? She sells seashells by the seashore.

Sorry for the repetition, but since I put the song link under Solstice’s comment, I’m going to repeat it here in the “general public” for those who might not have seen it earlier.

/// Peter Monamy stood by Thom Walker,

who, it seems, is not much of a talker.

Cleared his throat and then swallowed,

“I don’t like being followed,”

Peter had Thomas charged as a stalker.

Hilarious!

/// This dark hallway I’ve seen before, maybe.

A drugged woman was carried this way be-

-fore she (on the level)

got rāped by the Devil,

which resulted in Rosemary’s Baby.

(There’s a small painting in the background which looks like the picture of a burning church on the wall in the hidden passage between those two apartments in the Branford,)
