That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 21, 2012

Judith and Holofernes?

To recycle or not to recycle, that is the question…

Meadow Soprano whacks the mook who hit her father…

i hope no one makes a comment on needing a little head

d’oh… chireef just did

On form today, aren’t you.

I think she’s saying,“What a lovely present….what am I supposed to do with it?”

Maybe she should have called “tails”.

A head of her time.

Women! Always messin’ with your head…..

Vincent van Gogh must’ve really really like that girl.

“No, no, Lucia. You put the horse’s head in the guy’s bed. not the other way around!”

Just throw it over your right shoulder with the other one

hope she gets rid of it before it becomes head cheese.

Talk about a HEAD Ache!

Walking around all day trying to give everyone head but no one bites on the offer..(Never thought I’d use a statement like that in context of anything.)

How to get a head in iconic mythology. Film at eleven.

he is about as offensive as me. whats up with that?

Failure at the Barber School

This dish is going to the head table.

She wanted her own chariot with a driver, but NOOOO – her mother had to ask for a head on a platter!

OK, Marge is right! It IS Judith and Holofernes in spite of the expression. http://mydeejay.deejay.it/contenuto/Gaspare-Traversi-%22Giuditta-e-Oloferne%22/387657The one I knew is the Caravaggiohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Caravaggio_Judith_Beheading_Holofernes.jpg is a better representation which I had already seen.

Rewriting what I wrote 9 hours ago (too early, same links, different words — I really miss the Edit button):Enlarged (actually has larger size), also available from here, but under a different title. Both say (this discusses painting as well) it was painted in 1760; he was at most 10 in 1732. So far, only work by this artist to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog.

You have no idea how hard it is to get ahead nowadays….

@Dogsniff,I’d totally support Mabrndt (tho I wish his name were more memerable). I’ve had to resort to doing my own searches and most are on Wiki. I hate to bother with the extra step to convert to short URL and anything more than that is a “foggrdaboudit”. I hope posting links to Wiki etc won’t already get me blocked.If Steve Melcher did not have his magnifier blocked, it would not be necessary or if he would provide the original title in small print in parenthesis for those of us enjoying a brush up in art history.

the situation comes to a head…

Go to your own profile and in the address remove your number and put in his. There are probably easier ways that he could tell us and I can’t. :-)

Incidentally, vidazzle, if you do go to his profile the art information posts can be seen there. We just can’t see them here. Since you are nice enough to be filling in that might save you some time.

Well, her mother did want her to get “a head” in time for her birthday…

Thanks for the info; I was wondering why he suddenly disappeared. Consider me to have jumped on the bandwagon (or should that be “banned” wagon?). E-mail has been sent; this one is just STUPID!

i sent in a message to general inquiry. i asked that mabrndt be restored. i also asked for some guidelines on what is forbidden…

Don’t they go into the compost bin?

Ah, yes, a timeless question.
