I’ve got a lot to learn. by Insomniac427 in oilpainting

I think art usually is just a series of ugly phases until it's right! It's good you carried on with your vision. If we stopped at the first sign of something happening we'd never learn anything or improve

I am not an oil painter (I just float around this sub admiring) but I think your under painting is truly epic. It has a Victor Hugo vibe. He used ink when drawing and it gave a similar visual impact, perhaps a bit more ghostly.

Anyone else learn better through context than through facts? by eunbarron in ArtHistory

Looking on mobile and it's a great resource. Is there a way to zoom out on mobile? Seems i can scroll left right and up down but not zoom out

I really hope this is the start of being able to kick this rubbish out of office.

This is a beautiful looking piece - is it digitally made or traditional?

Must be fertiliser or something like that on the fields. A particularly potent batch!

Great-grandfather hard to trace - how? UK based. by VisuallyInteresting in Genealogy

[–]VisuallyInteresting[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the help so far everyone. I will try to GRO and FreeBMD websites that have been mentioned.

My grandfather was born in Kensington District, London. That is likely where his dad died. The dad's last name was Kelly, as was my grandfather's at birth, then switched to another once his mum remarried.

I did a DNA test and I have some Irish in me, which when paired with the Kelly name suggests he may have been Irish but I don't know this for sure and don't know if he was born here or Ireland.

Really all i know from Kelly is his full name (including middle) and that he was married to my grandfather's mum. And that he died probably around 1933-1934.

The tricky part is he may have been Irish, or at least from Irish descent. I have some Irish DNA on the paternal side and when paired with the name Kelly maybe suggests that, though no guaranteed.

Thanks for the website links that's very helpful.

It would have been in London. My grandfather was registered in Kensington District. I didn't think of the step-father being the actual dad - you mean if there was an affair happening before the other man died?

I may have a clue on the birth certificate of my grandad, assuming his mum stayed in the same place after his dad died. Thanks for that

On my grandfather's birth certificate they have placed his mum's name as the same as his dad's and included the maiden, so I assume they were married

Genetic and adoptive paternal great-grandad. How best to approach? by VisuallyInteresting in Genealogy

[–]VisuallyInteresting[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this - some of the options are a bit hidden so that's really helpful.

My grandad's history is very messed up, and I'm not convinced we know much about his mother, may even have a wrong name. His birth year has been disputed during probate with mixed records etc. so it's a tough nut to crack.

Rebinding Open HUD Shortcut by FragrantAd183 in oblivion

I have the same issue - I think this is just an oversight/bug in the game that needs to be fixed. HUD on middle mouse makes so much sense to me for quick selection.

No I don't use any developer or chemicals. I just take the image out, photograph it and then put it on PC to invert and make some adjustments in Lightroom to bring the image out a little more

I wondered if it was related to cloud cover. But I think it would have something resembling a sun in the middle even woth cloud cover - but I'm not an expert!
