That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 15, 2019

“None of the models are as beautiful as you are.”

“And this here pauper I had buried in the north woods.”

“Bend over juuust a bit further to fully capture the essence of the brush strokes.”

Art appreciation indeed!

“Lets build a happy little cloud.Lets build some happy little trees.”

“What did you say? I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you because your breast is in my right ear and my mind has turned to jello.”

explaining the breast enhancement procedure in the days before photography…

“Let me just rest my head on your “Pillows” while I finish these last brush strokes."

“Oooh, Pierre! Your weeg! It tickles!”

A little tired of your backseat painting.

Pierre was so bedazzled by Marie’s… presence… by his ear that he managed to get paint not only all over the dining room floor, but on his best wig and his favorite pants.

Hoping to impress his new girlfriend, Jacques took down one of his painting and pretended that he was painting it himself. The endeavor was undermined by 1) that he was only willing to sacrifice one of his less good paintings, 2) the fact that he really had no talent for art, and 3) the real artist had signed his name on it.

" Now, all these #24’s you use Burnt Sienna, but the #25’s take Cadmium Yellow, and…"

Chick thinking, “What’s it gonna take; can’t this guy take a hint?”

He has eyes in the back of his head.

“Can you make my butt look smaller?”

Eyes are up here Buster.

You used the wrong color here with your paint by number kit.

I’m just not sure which entry to send in with my application for “Portrait Artist of the Year.”

He was suddenly inspired to change the background to The Grand Tetons.

A breast to the back of the head/ to a small “contretemps” has led: / he was focused on “art” / until that juicy “part”/ had him thinking of bed, instead.

It’s a short leap from wearing velvet to painting on velvet – you should see his portrait of Elvis !

I wasn’t in the mood to paint legs this day so I had this beggar’s leg cut off and replaced with a peg. Saved me hours at the easel!

“No, I didn’t give you a beauty mark. That, my dear, is a fly on the painting.”

The Artist and his Admirer:

has info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting.

http://www.haynesfineart.com/artists/emille-metzmacher-uk 

has sparse about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. So far, 2 works by him have been used here. 

https://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2017/12/19?comments=visible 

has the prior (my comment there included the same artist info URL).

Is his head so heavy his neck got tired of holding it up?

“O.K… Let me explain this to you again…..”

“I can’t wait until Photoshop to be invented – none of it is how I want to be remembered”.

Well OK, if you say so, but I don’t think it looks like us at all.

Making pictures of perpetrators took much longer when using oil paint.

admirer enraptured by artist’s powerpoint presentation…

Wolfgang, if you turn around real slowly you might actually get a glimpse of heaven.

“You’re right! I CAN hear the ocean in your cleavage!”
