Following on from the discussions earlier about big women needing thongs like hammocks, it reminded me of this painting by Botero that a friend has stuck on her fridge door as a deterrent:

Love Beryl Cook's work; it's a favourite.
Quite a clever image, until you look carefully at the reflection in the mirror - note the tiled wall on the RHS, but then it's not meant to be taken too seriously, is it?

For that matter she's never going to fit into that bathtub either!

Never mind the RHS, what about the straight reflection? Where has the doorway gone!Quite a clever image, until you look carefully at the reflection in the mirror - note the tiled wall on the RHS, but then it's not meant to be taken too seriously, is it?
God! hairy armpits - it's enough to put anyone off!

With painting I tend to think that everything is there for a reason, nothing is left to chance. Anyway, artists have always been playing games - look at the horizon in the Mona Lisa for example.Quite a clever image, until you look carefully at the reflection in the mirror - note the tiled wall on the RHS, but then it's not meant to be taken too seriously, is it?
There was a very good programme on BBC4 a month or so ago about Botero, I only caught the tailend but I'm sure it will be repeated, there's a bit about him here.

I try to follow the lead given in the Mona Lisa - which explains the wonky horizons in a lot of my shots rather neatly. It's NOT incompetence - LdaV did it!

No, he didn't. It's anti-Benchism again. Leonardo had painted a bench on the horizon as a deep and meaningful symbol - however, agents of the Old Order overpainted it to prevent the full significance escaping.I try to follow the lead given in the Mona Lisa - which explains the wonky horizons in a lot of my shots rather neatly.

So, there are pixies in my camera who are agents for the Old Order and it's them who tilt my sensor by 1/2 a degree or so, especially when there's a sea horizon to show they've been in action.

Now you're being silly. You're just rubbish, like the rest of us.
