2. My dear NNadir...
Oh, this is so damn beautiful!

It almost looks like a photo...

I just love the composition........the way the sunlight glows through the flower vases...

And the cute quirky duck!

A wonderful painting.

Thank you!

:hug:

Hard to believe that this was done in '49........That faucet, did not realize it was that old.

9. Another excellent painting you have brought to my awareness.
Thanks again, NNadir.

A quick google search led me to one of his paintings titled Nanny.



After a little more reading I found that Nanny is his wife's name.

12. Nanny is also Kurt Vonnegut's daughter. Sometime back I posted this Prior art.


(1983)

It is, I think Prior's most famous painting and is in the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, MA.

10. That is absolutely beautiful. Light, color and love.
Somewhere there's a poem about the transcendant beauty of ordinary familiar objects. I know that's a ridiculously loose description, but does anybody know what I might be talking about?
(I don't)
Scott Prior, huh? Wow.

11. oh, my.
That's frickin INCREDIBLE! It looks like I could just step into the picture and be there. I'm not an artist. I suck at that kind of stuff.
