  1. Warning. this page is a huge page full of Maxfield Parrish's art work.
    The man is 95 years old now.
    I had no idea he was still alive

    http://www.myspace.com/maxfield_parrish

    This one of my fav. artists. perry winkle blue can also properly be
    called, Parrish Blue.. after Maxfields fabulous blue skies.

    Max would take a wooden panel and paint a lanscape, then he would
    cover the landscape in a coat of varnish. Let it dry and paint some
    more. He would keep doing this to one picture over and over again till
    there was a thick build up of varnish... the result is neat, it pulls
    light into the work, and just bring life to the painting.

    Later

    Beautiful webpage and worth checking out, but Parrish died in 1966.

    They must have exhumed him for that photo, then. He looks pretty
    good for being dead for 30 years. I hope my embalmer is that
    good.

    This happens to him all the time. Now he'll stick to his guns and insist
    he's right, even when you exhume the old guy and plunk him down in front of
    him.

    He thinks it's manly to stick to his guns, especially when he's wrong. As
    though if he keeps yelling "IS SO, IS SO, I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I?"
    long enough, everyone will forget he was wrong.

    Trouble is, not everyone has that excessive pot-smoking convenient memory
    Barry does.

    He doesn't have to drink in order to forget.

    Ah well, the world is probably perpetually fresh for him.

    And I understand God looks out for children, potheads, and imbeciles.

    He's been dead for more than *40* years. He was 95 when he died in 1966.

    Well, there is a "Contact Me" button on the web page right under
    his name.

    The web page does a good job of hiding the fact that he's dead ;-)

    Never mind that anyone with a passing interest in art history or popular
    culture knows he was creating art far too long ago to still be alive.

    So I guess that leaves out Barry, too.

    Is it silver queen? I want some silver queen, sliced red garden tomatoes,
    and steaks on the grill. And I want someone else to cook them!

    WTF is sriracha? Please don't make me search, my Google finger is so tired
    and so is my tiny mind.

    What is sriracha? Sriracha is the subject of a thread started 2
    days ago. That's what it is. AKA [censored] Sauce.

    a fantasy house on some isolated distant mountain, there is actually
    no clickable Add me links. lol.

    lol, i seee

    I had just woke up anyway, I shoulda known

    however, if an art newbie shows up at his-space, wouldn't it be nice
    if they had
    1861-1966 or something like that?

    I don't know that one by name, Ill check it out.
    Funny, sometimes people call him Maxwell, other times it's Maxfield

    His prowess on fabrics was incredible.

    I like Daybreak, and then Ecstasy

    back in the day when I did art for a living, I did a mural of
    Daybreak. I turned out real nice. I can't do live portraits like just
    talking about it, but If I have a picture , I can duplicate it My
    specialty is nudes figures.
