[challenge entry] The Hay Wain by Constable with added dinosaur goodness.
All my creatives went into the image, so I can't think of a pun to put in the title. Time for wine and Stilton, as it's Saturday night.



I think I may have done the click to make it bigger thing, but can't be sure.

# Thanks. It's one of my favourites too.
Took a while to cobble together a dinosaur that could stand the right way.

# i'm on a bit of a holbein kick at the moment

# Saw heaps of them in Amsterdam a couple of years ago
and up close they're even more amazing. Not at all the brush strokes I'd have expected on the lacy bits - but perhaps that's more my ignorance of oil techniques than anything to do with him.

# i'm not great with oils, too fiddly
i much prefer acrylics. holbein's work on hair is fantastic, the detail is amazing

# I know - he really does look incredibly detailed
but even the hair looks unexpectedly like unlikely clumps of paint up close. Amazing technique and artistic sense he must have had to know how it would look when your face isn't up close.

# his portrait of william roper looks incredibly lifelike from a distance

A wise move.

# They sound tempting,
but I'm sticking with Stilton. Or even Yorkshire Blue (which is not available on DVD)

# i can't stand blue cheese
blue steak, on the other hand, is lovely
(I helped save b3ta! Smash Monkey lowering the tone of the whole internet, Sat 8 Oct 2011, 19:08, archived)
# With you on the steak - blue enough to still have the moo (and its ethereal echo) attached.
But blue cheese is very versatile and can lead to dreams about subterranean adventures in my experience. They're always fun and even include robots occasionally.
