    When a picture is worth a thousand words and you’re a slow reader.

    /// Rembrandt here In His Studio frowns.

    His finances had “ups,” (mostly “downs”).

    Artists— though greatly skilled—

    for oil paint will be billed.

    “Second Notice” for Black and Dark Browns.

    He’s still looking at that picture of his ex, fantasing about the good times they had together. Get over him, already!

    He is probably just “reading the articles”, like everyone else…

    Rembrandt looked at a portrait from a few Halloweens when he wore that helmet and shield now shelved up high out of his reach. Oh, he felt so manly, this beret just doesn’t do the trick.

    Rembrandt was never that thin/

    (Or at least he’s not thought to have been)/

    But his work’s in the Louvre/

    And doesn’t that prove/

    That a skinny Dutch painter CAN win ?

    “The Night Watch”, is simply “yuge”:/

    One wonders by what subterfuge/

    (If solvent he ain’t)/

    How he paid for the paint/

    Of which he required a deluge..

    The profession of painting’s precarious/

    Fraught with perils, diverse and various:/

    Critics cruel (seldom gentle)/

    Plus no benefits dental/

    Hence, dentition crumbling and carious…

    When I was in college, I had to do a team project on a failing beer company for business management. We had to come up with an idea to save it. One of my team mates found out that the company recovered because of beer cans dedicated to teams, the first being an orange and black striped can for the Bengals. He found it by reading an article in Playboy.

    He found the concept of Only Fans to be sound, but wished there were a greater selection to choose from.

    His momma told him not to read in dim light and now he is looking for someone to perform one of those Barouque cataract surgeries.

    Rembrandt was at one point reduced to painting Wanted Posters until he quit when the Dutch police demanded quantity over quality.

    Rembrandt in his studio

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Paintings by Nicolaas Pieneman" Wikimedia 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Brave search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found, and once there find the text string 18.72, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size, oil on panel painting. If your browser isn’t set up to handle .tif images, to see an enlarged image there and avoid the 18.72 MB image download to your device, click a size under the image, rather than the image itself. 

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3390 (October 11, 2024) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger, if you trim what’s after .jpg from the URL). I will be adding a comment there pointing to the info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, first work by him used here.
