The words “blissful repose” came to mind immediately upon viewing this photo. If that’s not it, then I don’t know what else could possibly be its image.
I beg to differ regarding Bob Ross. Watch an experienced artist paint and it looks very “formulaic”, that’s their developed style. But pay more attention to their mixing of colors, to the locations where they apply it and the subtle differences in brush strokes. Bob made beautiful art and I prefer it to the half formed blobs above. There’s nothing wrong with having different tastes. But having watched my father (a professional artist for much of his career) paint, I can appreciate what Bob was doing.
If you watched the artist above make several paintings, you’d see his formulaic style. Magic isn’t as awe inspiring when you know how the trick is done; but the awe comes back when you realize the subtleties involved.
This is one of the darkest reproductions of it I’ve seen….
As with most works of art, it’s very hard to tell the actual colors by seeing it in print, or even on the web… So much depends on how it was reproduced, or photographed… what the light was like on that occasion or in that place.
There’s a lot of gold leaf on this painting, which is very reflective, and probably hard to photograph… When it looks shiny, the whole thing looks lighter, but in this image you can hardly tell it’s metallic at all.
When I was in college I had a poster of it on my wall. Her right hand has always bothered me, but I’ve never heard or read anything about it, so maybe I’m imagining its strangeness.
Yes, just the one, the shelter said they wouldn’t let unrelated cats go to the same home together at the same time. They want at least six months between adoptions for things like that.
Here’s the U.R.L. of the video shot while It was happening.
Open it in a new window (you’ll have to live through an advertisement / it’s a Brazilian navy ship and this happened in Ecuador).
For anyone wondering, the arrow is pointed directly at the Moon Man we crushed when Armstrong and Aldrin landed. Of course, this choice bit of knowledge was only shared among the Illuminati. As you all know, the news was kept from the hoi polloi cause it was felt they were too simple-minded to comprehend and – – – – – – – – wait – – – – – – – – perhaps I’ve said too much. – – – – – – – – Never mind.
I just finished watching the episode at 22:09 Alberta time.
Charles Beaumont, the writer of the episode wrote Telly Savalas’ character as a very despicable piece of garbage, and he carried it off beautifully.
You’ll feel no sympathy whatever for Erich Streator as he is introduced to the twilight zone.
I thought maybe I’d found it, but I didn’t believe it, especially because of how it’s added to the picture.
Finally I looked at the spoiler, and yeah, that’s it… But the resolution there is even worse than in the puzzle itself.
I’ve cropped the puzzle image, so that bit will appear larger, and circled the mouse a bit closer…
See what you think….
The mouse is lying at an angle, upside down. His large ears are white inside, and his tail is lying along the edge of a tailfeather. I can’t see his feet.
I can sort of see where that’s a mouse, but mice don’t have different coloured fur on their bodies which is why I didn’t see it in nighthawks’ spoiler.
Another poor puzzle by Brainxfactor.

I know we’re not to bring politics to this, but in my opinion if this was the real one’s business it would probably go bankrupt; again.
I saw a short vid with a guy who demonstrated the foot movements involved, it’s basically hovering each foot whilst moving the body forward and the hovering foot backwards with a quick dab to the ground at the end of each step. She’s very good at it, you have to watch each foot carefully to see how it’s done.
Thank you, Barry, for the pictures. What wonderful pretty Miezi (cat)!
How lucky they were to have found each other, the cat from the animal shelter and your lady-neighbour

Going away for the weekend. See you Tuesday. Stay healthy, for cryin’ out loud!
The “dunk” is the most unimpressive play in all of sports. I can’t throw a paper wad into a trash can 5′ away, but put a basket in reach and I can place it down into it every time.

I can just see Bob Ross painting those Happy Little (cold) Trees
This artist may not be my favorite, but even so, Bob Ross could only hope to paint that well.
gotta agree
Just the trees — nothing else!
But his happy little trees are usually very sketchy conifers, dabbed on with the tip of his brush…
No real structure.
Don’t get me wrong… Bob Ross was a beloved figure.
I appreciate that he taught a lot of people not to be afraid of trying to paint… To embrace their creativity, etc.
But the style he taught was mostly formulaic…. Lay down these strokes and you too can make a pretty painting.
This is how you paint a cloud; this is how you paint a tree. Very little self expression or varied technique… Not even much looking at actual life.
Decor, not great art.

Looks cold.

My guess too.
Kate Capshaw, Harrison Ford / Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 1984 directed by Steven Spielberg
as an aside, after this movie Kate Capshaw became and still is Mrs Steven Spielberg
LOL
That was my first thought too, then I recognized the actor…
,,
Isn’t she meant to be 90°left?
(That doesn’t look right either!)
I’m not sure what you mean, but this is her normal position, if that helps.
I was/am seeing her reclining on a couch cuddling a head-shaped cushion.
I can see how you can find that in it…
But actually they’re both supposed to be kneeling in a flowery meadow.
He’s wearing a golden, hooded cloak, and embracing her face with his hands.
Wikipedia on GUSTAV KLIMT. This painting is title “The Kiss.”
“The Kiss” … By Gustav Klimt, ca 1908.

The right hand is definitely strange.
Not a dog, but my neighbour who lost her cat suddenly on Christmas day, adopted a 13yo cat from a shelter yesterday.
She just took one, not both?
Yes, just the one, the shelter said they wouldn’t let unrelated cats go to the same home together at the same time. They want at least six months between adoptions for things like that.
Hey, I’m a senior!
Me too!
JFK campaigning in West Virginia, 1960
Did he campaign in East Virginia too, or did Batson D. Belfry have that state sewn up?
There’s only Virginia and West Virginia.
Batson D Belfry is still very much involved in politics.
And he’s from EAST VIRGINIA.
Ah… I’d forgotten it’s the name of a cartoon character… It’s probably been 20 years since I read Shoe
I was using the meaning of his name as a joke.
And yes, a cartoon character can be from East Virginia, but a human can’t campaign there, any more than in Slobovia or Elbonia.
I mean, he can go to eastern Virginia, but it’s not a state, just a state of mind.
…either a model or a full size set from the movie “Rear Window.”
I was thinking it was a set, there’s something that doesn’t look quite right about some of the proportions.
That can’t be right.
Here’s the U.R.L. of the video shot while It was happening.

Sob!!
Somewhere in all those flags there should be a “U” — “you are standing into danger!”
Eek!
Reminds me of Indiana Bones, sliding under that closing door…

Seeing as the moon landing never happened they couldn’t have crushed anybody (ain’t conflicting conspiracy theories fun? / said to ensure my safety).
That appears to be
Let me guess “Twilight Zone?”
…a still from “The Twilight Zone” episode “Living Doll.”
The actors are: Telly Savalas and Mary LaRoche.
Again, I hope this takes you to the episode (it does for me / open the U.R.L. in a new window so you don’t lose this page).

I think one of the cats just killed it and dragged it out of frame. But I did find a frog or toad of some kind.
Can you spot the frog?
Based on your spoiler — NO!
I looked at nighthawks spoiler (which is the official answer) and I can’t see it either.
I thought maybe I’d found it, but I didn’t believe it, especially because of how it’s added to the picture.
Finally I looked at the spoiler, and yeah, that’s it… But the resolution there is even worse than in the puzzle itself.

Yeah, it seems like somebody’s rather fanciful drawing of a mouse, or maybe a much altered photo…
Not just the color, but those ears, too.
BUNNY!
I agree, Happy³, that’s more “bunny” than “mousie”!
Hmmm…. let’s go with bunnimouse.
Its ears are too wide for a rabbit and it has a long pointy tail. But its body and fur color are more like a bunny’s.
It seems to be a thing with puzzle makers that they make animals fit their designs, instead of using actual animals.

How does she
this?
I saw a short vid with a guy who demonstrated the foot movements involved, it’s basically hovering each foot whilst moving the body forward and the hovering foot backwards with a quick dab to the ground at the end of each step. She’s very good at it, you have to watch each foot carefully to see how it’s done.
Looking at it with your explanation in mind I finally caught the quick foot dab, but I still can’t see the leg and body movements. Thanks.
Thanks. I read the story without the sound and stopped the video as each page was turned (I have a 22″ monitor) as I didn’t like his reading style.
Which won an Oscar for its wonderful score.
I know the movie and know two of the three “sailors” (and the girlfriend on the right looks awfully familiar.)
I’ve just been to see my neighbours new cat, Poppy. She’s actually a Calico and not a tabby as I thought, and she looks to be settling in just fine.
Turns out, she likes catnip.
I have my eyes open for a calico kitten.
Thank you, Barry, for the pictures. What wonderful pretty Miezi (cat)!
