An extremely handsome dog, and backlighting him in blue over a black background creates a really striking portrait.
Are the dog’s ears pointed up like that as a result of some sort of surgical procedure? I am hoping no, but thinking yes. If its purpose is to make the dog look more intimidating than a floppy-eared version, then I suppose it’s “mission accomplished.”
I remember trying to learn constellations. We had no street lights and the nights were very dark. I saw so many stars that picking out five or six for a constellation seamed impossible. It’s sadly easy now, only the brightest stars show at all.
The 1933 photograph of Clara Bow from which the painting was made (I can find credits for neither the photographer, or the artist other than gallery names).
I’m pretty certain it’s not a painting…
It’s this photo, colorized… or more likely, tinted, in the 30s.
Look, for instance, at the tiny hairs on the top of her head and on her cheek. That detail is too photographic to have been rendered in a painting.
There’s a grayish, unnatural tone to her skin, making me think it’s hand tinted, because the flesh tone is somewhat transparently applied over the photo.
A computer will swap out the color, instead.
Photo tinting the old way is done with thin, translucent oil paint… leaving enough of the photo showing through to give the details and shadows, like on her lips.
It looks like a more opaque white has been used to brighten and “iron” her dress.
You see some old photos tinted with a heavier hand, obliterating details, to almost comic effect.
The site “fineartamerica” calls it a painting.
I’m not providing a link, because I strongly suspect there is photo-shopping going on with some of the more risqué photographs.
Hard to tell. And, I’ll toss this out there…
I have a black and white portrait photograph of my grandmother and grandfather, it was colourized with paint back in the late 1940-early 1950 era (my grandfather passed in early 1954, I was born late 1953). Image is/was still quite sharp, you would nowadays think of it as a finely-detailed colour photo portrait. From what I was told by grandma and my mom, colourization of B&W photos were the agency of the well-to-do, and was quite the thing-to-do back then. B&W photos back then had MUCH better detail than the (emerging) colour photos.
I’ve set this copy of the full movie (“Go West” / Buster Keaton) to start just before the scene in the gif (jiff). You can easily reset it to start at the beginning.
It’s from the 50s but I saw it later, as a teenager, and found it very disturbing.
More….
Not a horror movie, but Mitchum plays… I guess today you’d call him a serial killer… posing as a priest, and you just know he’s going to kill the widow whose money he’s after.
Dogs often have differing coloration on their toenails based on the location of the melanin in the cells. They are usually pretty much one color, but the dark claws on the dark paw and light claws on the light paw would be expected.

A black Malinois (one type of Belgian shepherd )… Hard to see but I’m pretty sure.
I tried searching the image to verify but Google said ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is a picture of a black Malinois according to Yahoo.
Most look more sleek than that one. There are also some with longer hair, but usually not fluffy.
They’re used by European police forces and by the US Navy…
In the picture that started this thread, you have to look carefully to see the tall tips of his ears.

We have seen this previously. It’s a beautiful piece of work.

I see Orion.
I only see the belt but not his shoulders.
I thought that was the little dipper, above the moon, to the right… but the shape is a bit off, and maybe Polaris isn’t bright enough.
No, I don’t know a lot of constellations, only a few.
I was told as a small child that I was born under Orion.
That was before I ever heard of astrology, and I don’t know if that’s compatible with Aries… But I always watched for Orion in the sky.
Anyway, if its AI, all bets are off.

It’s a nice image, but the sky in particular looks AI generated to me.

No idea who they are or what they are performing. But they look British to me. I’m clueless.
Well, don’t be shocked…

My Dad tried hand tinting photos in the way back. It’s the reason all my baby pictures look like I’m wearing lipstick…
That’s just what you were told. How do you know your parents weren’t putting lipstick on you when you were a baby?
Cloning? Mimeograph? Stone lithography?

One of his best 🙂
Surprisingly, in this case, I believe I can.
I think I see them too!
Too fuzzy tonight. I’ll try in the morning.
Never mind. I found them.
I think so…
They look a bit fuzzy to me too, but I’m pretty sure I’ve got ’em.
Not that I wanted to … Not nice to make me find spiders.
Now I wanna take a shower.
Absolutely. 👌
What i see.
Same ones I saw.
I’ve always liked this song.
Another classic!
I will admit that I had to go look this up, but that is none other than
Got it right away — that outfit is classic!

Very similar to the role he was to play later in Cape Fear.
Sorry… I must have been typing when you posted.
If you don’t mind, I’m leaving it because of the box that says “more”.
And yes, he was good at that psychological menace.
He has “L O V E” on one hand and “T E ?” on the other. What is tattooed on his left hand?
IIRC, the left hand is “HATE”
Yes.
Actually you can read the A, as well.
A tattoo still popular in jail, and amongst bikers and street people 😁
Alternatively, ANGEL on the right hand, DEVIL on the left.

That’s easy for you to say!
Translated, it says…
“The first children’s publication in Malayalam
Children’s Deepika
Vol 64 Issue 13. 2020”
Somehow not what I expected.
I’m surprised. I thought it was more AI gibberish. The dog has black nails on the right and tan nails on our left; is that common?

Okay, I’m too tired — spent way too long trying to figure out the “Ornamental Font”
Me too.
When I realized it wasn’t in English, I thought maybe I couldn’t get a translation because of the font.
I was amazed that the computer could just read it.
The original singer of “Hello My Baby,”
The CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PROTAGONIST IN THE LYRICS while meant innocently, was a product of its time.
One of my favourite cartoons, by the way, thanks.
You ain’t lame until you can cross a pickle with a bathmat.
Is that a quote from somewhere?
Here.

I found it. I Have a copy of this in my (still boxed) library,
Lame jokes?
Did somebody say lame jokes?
Aww, Cleo… Claude too…. There are millions of them out there.
I sneaked in one of my favorites here the other day….
Try this:
Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies prefer a banana.
Not working?
Wait, that must be cos it’s not lame.
It’s funny, right? Um… I said right?
….
What happens to ducks that fly upside down?
Wait… That one’s not lame enough either.
Okay… what did the duck say when the waiter brought the check?
Just put it on my bill.
That’s gotta make the cash pour in!
….
I’ll be back to check.
No, not with a check….
I got no money but I got lame to spare.
I’ll try one then:

Two fish in a tank, one says to the other,
“How do you drive this thing?”

Anything yet? C’mon, something must be stuck somewhere!
Let’s try these…..
Why did the moron stop eating his watch?
It was very time-consuming.
Anything yet?
….
Well, speaking of that… did you hear about the guy who went to the second hand store to buy one for his watch?
No? Dang!
….
Did you like that new restaurant on Mars?
Well, the food was okay, but I didn’t like the atmosphere.
..
Oh c’mon already….
….
Okay… even more lame… 2nd grade level lame…
Why did the tomato turn red?
He saw the salad dressing.
If that doesn’t do it…..
OK, you know who this is, but might not recognise him at this age.
.
.
OK, OK, I guess that might not be such a clue, but I promise you, you do know him!
.
.
See! I told you you know him 😉
I recognized him from the picture!
The exclamation point is because I surprised myself.
I didn’t think I could be right.
I admit, I think a lot has to do
Our oldest friend’s youngest son looks just like him as an adult.
Our friend complies.
Hope he doesn’t have the extra teeth.
