    • Hello chrismasonic!

      For the first time I started to think about the relationship of the Joker and Jack the Ripper!

      Robert, all I can do is to make a variation of a Harrison-Starkey song;

      "...All I've got
      Is their photograph
      And I know
      They won't call me back
      Anymore..."

      (PS. Paint is a computer-program I used to make this compilation!)

      All the best

      • Mary Kelly, from my minds eye.

        And using this 3d model.......



        To get an idea of the position of her hair/head in the famous photograph.

          • I haven't posted any paintings up for a while, so thought I'd shove something up. I did this one recently, but it's a big bugger, so I've taken bits out of it and blown them up, otherwise you'd need a magnifying glass to see it.

            Hugs

            • Hello Jane!

              A nice piece, a bit like Rembrandt!

              • So nice, yes.
                But a bit like Bruegel, in my view.
                Congratulations.

                • Hi, DW,

                  Thanks for posting. Bruegel is a great artist, not one of my favourites, but a great all the same - not that I've got any right to criticize the old masters, but I find Bruguel a bit 'stiff' - I can't think of a better word.

                  His figures are all beautiful, but the whole effect is a bit 'detached' and impersonal and lacks a certain intimacy. I think that's because he uses long range views a lot rather than getting in tight to the figures so that you feel that you are looking at them from a hill, rather than being right in the middle amongst them. Not true of all of his stuff, but most of it. Still a great artist.

                  Rembrandt - well you don't get better than that..............

                  You can tell I've got way to much time on my hands can't you? Hee hee.

                  Much love

                  Jane

                  • Hi Jane,
                    much love too, and again, I really enjoy your composition.
                    I love Bruegel 'cause he takes my imagination to wonderful and ideal middle-ages that never were. I have the same kind of feelings with Chagall.

                    Salut l'artiste!

                    • Maybe Glenn Anderson will post some of his paintings (non-Ripper related from what I remember). I saw at least one a while back and it was quite good.

                      • I wish he would Rob, Glenn's stuff is amazing - he gets such detail into his work. Maybe we should all nag him. Lol.

                        • I love that painting - the faces are exceptional

                          • Not too Ripper-related...

                            ...but this guy has a lot to answer for in terms of his legacy, especially the more dubious aspects of "profiling" and some Ripper theories:



                            The shading's a bit rough - I only had one pencil at the time! - but it's probably the only half-decent drawing I've done

                              I just hope that woman gave the little boy a bit of the fish and chips after she'd given some to the cat!

                              I'm glad you liked it anyway.........

                              • That's bloody excellent Gareth - you've been keeping your light hidden under a bushel haven't you? You've got a very delicate touch - have you got any more tucked away in the cupboard? I'm sure everyone would love to see them.

                                Much love
