Friday Night Photos Art: Oil On Canvas Edition

Welcome to Friday Night Photos everyone. Your once a week break from the daily madness of the crazy world we live in. Post any photos, memes, music, or whatever else you find of interest that helps you escape the madness.

Orlbucfan often comments about how the photos everybody posts on FNP look like paintings so I thought I'd post some actual paintings from the San Diego Museum of Art and the Timken Museum of Art, both located in Balboa Park.

Painting oneself into a corner.
Didn't realize Tal did more than bass.
Very cool.

This was my mother's strokes circa 1950.
She dabbled a bit while in Syracuse.

Sort of a Cezan type still life.
Rich and heavy.

Looks like your mom had a talent for painting. My great grandfather also had a talent for painting.
This is one he painted in 1893 of the family homestead.

That's the only painting that remains. It's now in a frame and hanging above the fireplace in my living room.

I'd had a chance to visit these museums from your selection. It brought back memories of a few of the worlds great museums I was able to visit earlier in life.

I'm actually surprised you could take photos there. We watch a lot of youtubers/ guides to foreign cities, and it seems quite a few museums won't let you photograph anything inside.

I don't get to a lot of museums, but the ones I have been to all allowed photography. The only restrictions some of them had was no flash photography. Art galleries where the art was for sale was another matter. I haven't been into a single art gallery that allowed you to photograph the art work.

So many of the art museums I ever went to that had big-name artists on display expected you to obtain a special permit.

That was before the everybody-has-an-iPhone era, maybe it’s different now.

While not as challenging as shooting moving targets there's still a challenge. Like making sure the camera is level both horizontally and vertically and that the sensor plain is parallel to the plain of the subject. You also need to have proper white balance to get accurate colors. Different light sources (incandescent, florescent, LED, natural light) all affect color differently.

Hi all, Hey SP!

Great pictures of great pictures.

These photos look like great paintings@ Wink

Excellent images SP, very well done, and much harder to do than it might seem.

Not sure if my net here (dsl) but it took ten clicks for the log in to respond and a half-dozen to get your threat to open... The system here seems to be powered by an Armadillo on a wheel chasing a fat juicy grub. Maybe everyone here is streaming, I don't know. But I am afraid to try to upload.

I'll see how this goes first...

Thanks for the great images of great images SP!

happy trails all@

I don't think it's your dsl. It's been extremely slow for me posting to c99 tonight, too. Connecting to anything else on the net has not been a problem.

I'd never heard of smol cats before. I had to look them up. Some of them are really cute. Others look like there from an alien planet.

for the compliment opening this diary. Smile You all's photos have improved to the point where they are camera paintings. Photography is just as legit an art form as fine art. Take it from someone (me) who is a real joke with a camera. My hubster is the opposite: he can do both photography and video. Both your and QMS's relatives were also talented. My best childhood friend, now deceased, was a brilliant fine artist. She could draw anything and work in pencil, colored chalk, oils, etc. I love looking at art, period. I laugh over AI so-called "fine art." Really? The Chardin painting made me chuckle. I've decided I'm not sweating storm season this year. With the greed obsessed troglodytes ruining most governments, it's not worth it. Anywho, take care. Rec'd!! Smile

I have a niece that's very talented at painting, drawing, and makes her living as a tatoo artist.

@Socialprogressive I know it's just my opinion, but I could never get into tattoos. I was born hating needles, and how people have endured having some needle/syringe full of ink plunged into them, escapes me. There are no painkillers, and we're talking the reputable tattoo artists. ??

kicked that Pechstein character's butt for giving her that ugly expression, after she did him the favor of posing nude.

The expression could have been better. What stood out to me was the odd mix of still life and a nude as the subject matter.
