Maybe Planck is upset because Lorentz is always transforming the numbers.

because two days of "The Joy of Painting" is *enough*, even for Bob Ross.

I would really like to have met him.

I just smile, nod and head over to the picture threads

My family accumulated a bunch of painting they bought from a guy outside the Piggly Wiggly grocery store in Alaska. He sold them for $5 unframed, painted on grey shirt cardboard. I thought they were cool because they were in the style of a few blobs and a wide brush give instant background then minimal strokes of a brush fill in mountains, evergreens, and other details.

When I first saw Bob Ross on TV, I immediately thought of the style of those cheap paintings. When just recently I read Ross spend a lot of time in Alaska, I had to wonder if it was him, but he didn't get there until about 1959 or '60 and some of these predate that. That makes me wonder if he learned the technique from the painter?

Nevermind, as you were.

Yeah, I think he was AirForce when he was in Alaska. He's said that part of his job in the AF was to yell at people, and when he got out, he said he was never going to yell/shout again, and developed that signature soft-voiced way of speaking.

Speaking of Alaska, there's an artist up there making neat pictures.

Breakfast of champions... might explain a lot of coal mine explosions back in the day.

This aggressive falcon in South Bay, Los Angeles, didn't enjoy model plane enthusiasts getting too close to her nest - taking down their gliders in mid-air.
The peregrine attacked at least two planes which fell to the ground.

I'm inclined to take the side of the Peregrine on this one.

Hey, that's Species-ist.

Pretty impressive picture though.

I'm not best placed to offer an analysis of the artistic qualities of this painting, but the sheer size of it will always turn heads.

It's just a shade under 18' x 25'

How on Earth do you even start a work that size?

Hey, it was painted by an American, it must be "exceptional".

Yeah, how in hell did they handle it, move it around England, to Gibraltar and back, conserve it for 200 years? Roll it up? Don't oil painting get brittle and crack?
