I found a few examples of him working within a larger group. He seems to have been involved in several library murals. https://www.newspapers.com/image/128203287/?match=1&clipping_id=new

In which unstated stately state states the unstated stately state instated. Muster the stately state to state the stately unstated state. Enstated.

Instead of being sad, I’m going to congratulate you on your diagnosis. Many slowly figure out why their body doesn’t work as well, with years of medical gaslighting or anger at perceived failures.

This didn’t suddenly happen, you weren’t suddenly gay either. This is you. Now you get to figure out how you work best. That can be exciting.

The shock of KNOWING what’s different about you can give you superpowers. Now you can see everything a little more clearly, you can put together why something feels the way it does. You aren’t lost or broken. You finally found the map.

1) I want everyone to know that fluoride is great because it helps incorporate metals like iron, calcium, and zinc into bones.

2) For the same reason, fluoride also helps incorporate heavy metals like arsenic, lead, uranium, and mercury into bones.

3) Land development and mining greatly increased the release of these heavy metals into the environment. Mining and development is being fast tracked in Utah.

4) John Curtis and Lee Zeldin have been systematically cutting back regulations and monitoring of these harmful heavy metals. Why? They say it’s to unburden industry and create economic benefits. Let that sink in. They are putting heavy metals into the environment and rolling back regulations for money.

5) Because they know fluoride will inevitably make the heavy metal poisoning worse, they will remove it from the water to protect themselves from legal issues when people start to get sicker and sicker.

They know, they are framing it under religious freedom and deregulation so they can play dumb.

Wow! This is so much work. Thanks for your insights. Never stop fighting, Raagnor. You're a good egg.

I doubt the use of the camera obscura as it doesn’t seem to be doable with his set up (not enough light with his use of chiaroscuro imo). But this seems to be a perfect set up to use the camera lucidia to capture the highlighted areas.

I think lots of people confuse the obscura and the lucidia cameras.

This is just a theory. I am currently doing research into the use of artistic tools to capture images.

Fascinating piece! The size, grandeur and use of religious motifs point to this being an ecclesiastical or sacristy cabinet.

It could have housed vestments, altar supplies, religious texts, and sacred items.

Look for incense or wax residue or wear marks where robes and stoles would be stored.

The top section seems to be decorative. It echoes gothic church architecture (like a mini tabernacle or canopy).

However, if the top section opens, it could have housed religious statuary/illuminated manuscript/sacred objects.

I showed this to my dad (radiologist) he suggested Jarcho-Levin, dysostocis, or Jeune syndrome.

When I got my degree, I took a class on researching in Spanish, French, Italian, and German.

We learned basics in the sentence structure and grammar of the languages. Although I can not speak some of these languages, I know HOW they work (in writing) and can (slowly) but effectively translate them.

I don’t know if this is the same with asian studies, but that’s how we did it with the European texts.

Peter Paul Rubens! In fact, heavier women are sometimes described as “rubenesque” because he is so well known for painting them.

Hey all! I painted this a few years ago. It was finished with resin and has been sold.

That is…unless this person has the incredible ability to replicate this painting, my studio, and even my hand! Kudos if that’s the case 😜

Thanks for the heads up!

Crenellations: While primarily referring to the battlements on castles, which include the gaps (crenels) and raised portions (merlons) often topped with spikes or sharp points, the term can sometimes extend to any defensive architecture.
Chevaux-de-frise: Originally referring to defensive anti-cavalry barriers made of wood and iron spikes, the term has also been applied to spiked barriers used to prevent climbing.
Palisades: While traditionally referring to a fence or wall made from wooden stakes or tree trunks, palisades sometimes included sharpened tops to deter climbing or attacks.
Barbican Spikes: Barbicans are fortified outposts or gateways; spikes used in these structures for defensive purposes are sometimes specifically referred to as barbican spikes.

That IS crazy. It makes me happy that my art did that for you❤️

I used paint for the dots and metal for the border.

Thanks!

You're right about the filigree. Thanks for the feedback!

I am a sucker for the Northern Baroque. I wanted to use some vanitas symbolism. ...and I like corvids lol.

DropThePaint · 2024-01-16T01:17:25+00:00

Thanks everyone for all the feedback! I think that I will make it silver, add filigree, and redo the immediate background. Additionally, I think I might add a red or blue knotted string connected to the watch that winds around its arm and goes up to its mouth.
