Well, one difference with the previous “digital artwork”. Is that according to my search, this is an actual painting by a human artist. Humans are more accountable than AI generators.
I found no date, but three different titles. More than one site called it “At Sea”, so I’ll settle for that.
They did all agree that it was painted by Marek Rużyk, born in 1965.
In his defense, I had to realize that it’s his website. Nighthawks can make it whatever he wants. We can enjoy, complain or leave as we choose. Not half bad so far, and a heck of a lot of work involved. Cheap at half the price.
Pretty much exactly this was one of the things that bonded me to my little schipperke.
She was only 14 months old, but had had 4 previous homes, and apparently didn’t feel comfortable anywhere. When I answered an ad and went to look at her, she crawled into my lap.
The woman I bought her from had a husband and a teenage son, neither of whom stopped watching TV to say goodbye.
In my car on the way home, she started out in a basket, but within a mile her head was in my lap, and she wouldn’t move.
She spent the next almost 14 years as close to me as she could get, even occasionally jumping into the shower.
…
The woman I bought her from had bought her from someone else, who supposedly got her from a breeder.
But I later met a woman who recognized her. She had sold her to that man, after buying her just to rescue her from the couple who actually got her from the breeder, but they didn’t like her
My dog recognized her, too, wagged her tail, and all that… but then hid behind me to show that she didn’t want to go back.
Similar to our mistress’s story – she was eleven months old when we adopted her. Or more likely she us…
That’s what her former servant told us:
Place where she was born
Family with children and a dog (didn’t work)
Woman with a cat-hair allergy who thought her medication would work, didn’t allow the cat to get on the furniture and kept her on a leash in the apartment
and finally the young man who told her that wasn’t good for a cat and took her with him.
Would have been lovely for her, but his two cats and Romy didn’t get along.
Therefore he kept her in his large, friendly kitchen on her own for a couple of days and put an announcement in a local online-billboard.
Title: “Emergency”, describing the current situation.
I was looking for Korean drums etc. when I saw that by chance – we’ve lost our beloved chartreuse Silver (that’s a story for another time) only some weeks earlier…
I called my husband if he would be OK with another cat and then the owner.
His first question: “Are you experienced with cats?”
My answer: “18 years without a break, years of weekly cat-sitting before” and more.
We visited her the very next day, she was friendly with us at once, we were allowed to take her with us, the owner brought us her scratching tree some days after that (and saw that she was happy). That was in 2008.
She had her issues – it took her three years before she stopped vigorously scratching and biting. I cursed loudly in those moments, but she was really sorry and we never ever hit her or anything. And were friendly with her again only a few minutes later. And she always greeted us at the door.
She does still look the same and is mostly healthy, got all her teeth etc.
But she’s doing her businesses in places where she shouldn’t – not hidden, we give her that.
She’s turning 18 soon…
We love our little border-collie disguised as a cat.
In his lifetime, Rembrandt, though immensely popular, was criticized by some for his studies of everyday objects and ordinary people, painted in what were considered rough brushstrokes, instead of shiny smooth canvases of idealized subjects.
But look at the greying brows and lashes, the brass eyeglasses, all so real.
This is actually only part of one of his paintings of his mother, so those details were painted very small, but perfectly.
Back when I was a young teenager, a family friend owned a strawberry farm.
I spent ONE summer picking strawberries, and that was enough for me.
The only thing different from my experience in this video is they are now picked into store ready containers.
EWC?

Okay, the royals might be a bit of a stretch, but I can accept that as a believable rig for that vintage ship…

Aren’t we getting a little political here, nighthawks?
In his defense, I had to realize that it’s his website. Nighthawks can make it whatever he wants. We can enjoy, complain or leave as we choose. Not half bad so far, and a heck of a lot of work involved. Cheap at half the price.
I prefer the one Ben put on our first copper penny.
“Mind your own business.”
You can call it political, and relate it to the events of the day…
But it’s not particularly new, though I couldn’t find the exact date.
The artist, Dan McCall, says it’s based on George Orwell’s 1984.
Susan has it right
First thing I thought of.

She didn’t have to worry about that.

Even after all the de$truction he did, i wouldn’t give my goof up for anything.
I know that feeling.
We’ve rescued that little soul (purring at my feet at the moment).

Back when presidents were human beings…
The Rose Guard??
Probably meant ‘Rose Garden’ but was mangled by an OCR program somewhere along the line.
I think we can safely say the pup tied the score.
Rembrandt
Rembrandt-self portraits
Just amazing.

That’s what you call a master of his craft.
I doubt you have ever heard the song “Common People” in this version.
Here’s the original released by “Pulp” in 1995..
I’m just glad Shatner wasn’t singing
He even sounds like he’s fighting with the actual singer for attention at a couple of points.
So funny… albeit not intentionally so.

hard on the back , I’d expect
I survived one day!
I never knew they were put in those containers straight from the field.
Now you know, don’t forget to wash them before eating them!
OMG I’m like a raccoon… I wouldn’t dream of eating them without washing them.
.
That’s what I thought too, but I wondered whether the sampling was too small for it to be the significant difference.
Scroll don for the answer.
One heck of a “psss”ing contest.
