-
you just can,t win....you say back she says front, i say chalk she says cheese....thats Texans for you....they,re never happy until they see the arse of everything...i bet when she was a kid she dismantled everything..just to see how it worked....i know i did,....only problem was...i never put the thing back togeter again....whatever it was usually ended up like Humpty Dumpty.... ;D
-
I do that with my plumbing sometimes. Kids hate when I do it. lol

One thing that bugs me is he was so into his butterfly mark being perfect why would he slap his name like this onto a painting?

you would,nt have to do it if you did,nt put non bio-degradable shit down the drain...grease is a no no,...un-cooked rice is another....do what i do, pour a cap full of drain opener down your plug hole once a week, and you,ll never need to dismantle the pipe work ever again....its just like giving your drain an enema.... ;D

Wow, never saw one where he didn't put the whole person in it.

Look on the left of Whistlers name,, it looks like it says "after" !! Dorothy Seton is the artist I think !!

if you like volcano effects...here,s a nice practical joke, ...just mix your baking soda,with yer sugar....or as i did once when i was working offshore, and the cook in the galley...who ..was a Texan from Galveston....who could,nt cook to save himself..but he was good at steamed puds,..anyway, me and another guy...another Texan...crept into the galley store, and we emptied a 7lb tin of baking powder into a 20lb tin of self-raising flour....having first removed some of the flour,....a few days later the cook was making a big steamed pudding, for the rig boss and the pusher,...suffice to say....they never got their steam pud....as the mix blew the lid off the 25gal steamer, and the pud dough went everywhere....poor cookie....he never again got to make a steam pud.. ;D

Ok, the painting sold for $1001.00. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=14746632 Will be interesting to see what it turns out to be. Either way I would have never gone that high. I'm way to cheap. lol

Whistler painted the picture i posted an image of in 1903.
So in the same year Dorothy Seton then painted the hand holding the apple, upside down, with the same strands of hair visible?!!
" Dorothy Seton - A Daughter Of Eve ". in quote marks suggests whoever wrote that is giving the title of the piece this was based on, not who it was painted by. They then wrote " after Master James A McNeil Whistler ".
The writing after this is possibly a signature.
Each to their own but that wasn't painted by Seton or Whistler. The price is neither here not there. Just someone taking a punt or someone who doesn't know art hoping it's an original.
Yesterday on tv i watched an expert on Antiques Road Trip ( two experts competing against each other to buy and sell for profit ) buy a repro skulls head mount ( sometimes used by bikers, SS etc ) and then buy a walking stick. He attached the two items together and made sure the skulls head stuck by using cellotape / sticky back plastic.
It cost him about £50 altogether. It sold at auction for £200 because the buyer thought it was a genuine piece. Personally, i thought it was a terrible thing to do, even though the money goes to charity, because it showed an expert trying to con the public.
-
I think they are hoping it is an original but after further viewing it the paint strokes on the hand and apple are not Whistler's work. He would have blended much more as he was known for. That was the part that bothered me even though I like the painting. Bet someone runs to the auction house with it to be disappointed.
-
A Whistler oil is six figures.
$1,000 for this is too much but nowhere near enough for a Whistler. The listing also claims it's by Dorothy Seton, although it's clearly been listed by someone who doesn't know what they're looking at.
Looks like a mid 20th art class job to me.
-
Still trying to figure if I was correct or not ?? Thought at first it may have been by her then decided it wasn`t !!
