DI Bruce Robertson Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I like Vermeer, the girl with the Pearl necklace being a particular highlight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DI Bruce Robertson Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Missus says.. "I hope he's selling these". Eta because she thinks they're good, not as in you need to get them out of the house. Do you sell them Biggie? Being from Montrose, I really like the basin view.What size is it & did you paint it in situ or from photo / memory? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLIEA Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 My own personal favourites are the Dutch/Flemish especially both Breugals and Bosch. There is some excellent stuff on here which I will need to investigate. I am rubbish at art but my wife is very good at painting. Biggys stuff is very good imo. Re. modern art , there was a programme on tv years ago when they put some large canvasses on a wall , left some buckets of paint lying about and let loose some elephants who used their trunks to spray paint all over the canvasses. The resulting " paintings " were hung in a gallery and a whole bunch of critics were invited. Champagne , canapés,the works . They were seriously discussing the works of what they had been led to believe was a new artist. When the big reveal came at the end they were absolutely raging! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Lad I follow on Facebook got back into painting after ongoing issues with being in the Bradford Fire. He is a city fan but also comes up for Hearts games. He does stadium portraits which is also the name of his website. He was up at East End Park and is selling prints for a disabled lift. I'm not sure if @Shandon Par's missus would want these though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basin one is quite big 1.5m x 1m its on the wall in the living room I had to fix it to the wall and paint it there as it was too big for the easel, I paint them from photos, if you want one done drop me a pm. I'm quite surprised people like them, thought I would get a power of abuse on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen it but I think there was a documentary a few years back where one of Penn and Teller used a technique to copy masters' paintings and I think they fooled a bunch of critics into thinking their knock-off Vermeer was genuine. Also, Scottish National Gallery is pretty well stocked if you like your Flemish stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) I still prefer the Christ of St John on the Cross but Dali's Crucifixion from 3 years later is a very interesting piece. He likes to fuse differing trains of thought. In this case Religion and Mathematics. Edited November 13, 2016 by jagfox99 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd certainly be interested, I think they are very good, difficult to see the details (on my phone) but is the basin one from the Rossie Island / Ferryden side? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gran used to have a small print of St John of Christ on the cross on the bedside cabinet in her spare room which I found alarming as a young lad when I slept in that room.As an aside, I did shag a bird at my grans bit, so you wouldn't know her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably know her, most women from from Ferryden are known as Mrs Bigmouth, so you'll need to narrow it down a bit! ;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DI Bruce Robertson Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 She moved away from the dump about 30 years ago. So did I, but I loved it. Great place to grow up, hop on your bike up the Rossie Braes, play fitba in the plainie( your wife will know), picking tatties at Usan, pints in Diamond Lil's etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
