Yes, it’s called skeleton flower…
We had a picture of it here before.

It’s fairly rare… native to cool, shady woodlands, in higher elevations of Japan and China.

Those beautiful petals are only transparent when wet…
and surprisingly unremarkable when dry.

I found “Dumbo” online.
1) Open the U.R.L. in a new window.
2) Click the “I’m not a robot” box (and, if necessary the “select all with “x” / sometimes it’s used most times not)
3). Wait for the countdown timer to finish.
4) When the “Dumbo” link appears click on it
5) Play as usual.

This site is a bit odd. sometimes it will take you to the show you want immediately and sometimes you need the above.

Today’s puzzle is a painting by John Steuart Curry, the well known regionalist artist from Kansas.

I recently read that while to some, he was a respected representative of his native state, and received commissions for artwork to adorn state buildings, others in Kansas didn’t appreciate his work, and fought to keep it from being shown.

They didn’t like that he painted mostly bleak scenes (like tornadoes!), and especially portraits of John Brown, the abolitionist, who some considered a hero, and others, an embarrassment.

I’m not sure I understand the Frazz strip… is she more worried about tornadoes just because the painting is hung closer to where she lives…. (which afaik is Michigan)…?

…..

Wherever it’s displayed… we are lucky enough to have a version right here on Cleo that they don’t have in any museum!

It’s a stereo version with TEN differences between the panels!
Let’s prove we’re worthy of this special treat by finding all ten!

After you do … compare your finds with mine….

I was just coming back to ask if anyone had complemented Nighthawks on his skillful tampering with these old paintings…

Got all ten! Doing happy dance!!! And thanks for your solution to confirm I was on the correct path Susan…

I don’t know if you are tongue-in-cheek referencing the Frazz comic, but… It was one published in GoComics a few weeks/months ago. I had seen the painting nighthawks started with before (maybe here on a prior “Find the Ten Differences”), so I had some inkling of the “chicken” reference. Now, it all comes together for me and makes sense with the cross-over. Nice tie-in by nighthawks!

You’re very welcome, Baconboy!

Yes, we’ve had the painting here before, and also the puzzle, but the latter was years ago, I believe back in Sherpa days.

Someone… I think Alexikakos… posted the painting just a week or so ago, saying he learned of Curry from (IIRC) that day’s Frazz strip. I didn’t go to GoComics to read the comments on Frazz.

I did comment that we’d seen the painting before, here on Cleo.

I’m guessing that’s what inspired Nighthawks to post both today.
This is my first time seeing the Frazz… and yes, that was a real question in my post.

I understand about the chicken… but not why thinking the painting was in Kansas (farther away) made her less scared of tornadoes…. and only finding out it was in Michigan (where she lives) made her realize she needed a safety plan.

I wouldn’t think she’d feel that the location of an artwork would have any effect on the likelihood of a local weather event.

It very well could be that I saw both here at C&C recently, and at the time I never got the connection with the painting’s chicken and the Frazz comic… until now…
