Really Cool Paintings courtesy of the National Gallery
 

I asked the question if this should be in Tilted Artwork or in Tilted Photography...

Since these are not my original works, no on the Tilted Art
Since these are really photos of paintings, and not really pushing any boundaries in photography, no on the Tilted Photo.

My friends, I have a solution. These paintings belong to Canadians, and are hanging in our capital city. What better place to put them than in Regional : Canada!!


Here we go.

you could have put all of those in one post you know?

But thanks for the art!

Pathetic attempt to get my post count up.

Just kidding.

Or am I?

Nope, not kidding.

When I went from Tilted to Crazy, I turned into a full fledged post count whore.

Does this count as another post? Wheeeeeee

/Ben goes spinning off across the meadow, like The Sound of Music...

:confused:

cmon guy... that's not what the TFP is about.

Quality over Quantity :thumbsup:

Nononoono!

I am kidding.

Look at my posts. When have I ever submitted anything that was of poor quality?

Sorry for the satire. I will try to be more clear in the future.

I just didn't know that I could insert the artist and painting info inbetween the paintings.

No more of this -> :confused:

and a lot more of this -> :icare: :p :lol: :thumbsup: :D

As I was saying elsewhere, my son really loves, Voice of Fire... and I should say, I do too.

The thing about it is that no photo can do it justice. It is all about the scale of the thing (it really is big)... and how they have it hung in the gallery (almost reverentially).

While I like the impressionists, there is just something annoying about Renoir... don't know what it is really... his stuff always feels like it being viewed through vaseline.

Thanks for posting these... I can't wait to get back to the gallery this summer.

Voice of Fire.

I think we paid something liek $2 million for that.

Take a look at this to get an idea of the size
