Visual Arts - December 2007

I really love the look of the old English horse paintings from the 1700s, the type that were done as portraits of people's horses to show their conformation. I know George Stubbs is one such artist, but does anyone know the names of others, or know of a website that sells prints of that style of painting?

Other examples of what I'm going for are the paintings of the godolphin arabain, darley arabian, byerly turk, etc, but I can't figure out the name of the artists who painted those. But that's sort of what I'm going for.

I'd prefer to find the type that just has the horse standing in a stable yard, or perhaps with a groom, but not with riders.

Anyone know where I can buy some? Or some artists names to help my search? Or what that sort of painting is referred to?

I have this painting called Paradisea Raggiana that is over 100 years old and has been in the family for a while. There are 2 things typed on it, JWolf and Smit.del.et.lith and the other is M and N. Hanhart.imp

I was just wondering about how much it would be worth. The set also comes with two smaller bird painting that uses some real feathers...
thanks!

I've been wondering for a long time and I was thinking how can you draw it if you don't know where to place the next line? And also which tablet do you think works pretty good with decent price? Maybe for a beginner?

for leaving a smooth surface that will be better for making a plaster cast from it. Previously I used Crisco, which worked fairly well, but would like something like decoupage paste (which I haven't ever used) that will make a smooth purpose and not damage the styrene foam.

I've heard it so many times how a photographer had to reprint a photograph 7 times to get it right, etc. Was this always so, or was this just the occasional few prints that ended up in picture frames mounted in some art gallery?

Anything from animals, humans, to poses! Nude reference books are accepted. Please no manga, I'm sick of that art style - no offence.

Thanks!

Oh snap. What's the question?

Have you ever seen such creamy, smooth and delicious blurring in your life from a digital camera with less than a full-frame sensor?

Okay, that's a bit overstated, but at least it's a question.

Sorry to post so many questions not pertaining to photography, but someone must really hate me. You see, I posted on a question titled, "Can a photo technically be called a work of art?" I posted "Are you serious? Really, are you...?" And now, my answer is gone. Am I freaking out, or is someone out to get me? With this, and the fact that someone reported my snow question, I think someone really wants to get on my nerves.

Just so no one can say this does not relate to photography, "What do you think of my Photos?" http://www.flickr.com/photos/59181982@N00/

I'm scared... ;)

I don't know the artists name. The background is a swirl with several patterns (including a star pattern). The man has a goatee, is skiny, has a walking stick, black top hat, and black gloves in one hand, and a white flower in the other hand like he's giving it to someone.

thanks so much
