Les Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 very nice, except the shadows are wrong on the top of the water heater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 very nice, except the shadows are wrong on the top of the water heater. I'd say the light is wrong at the top of the boiler vent but maybe not. That said. Creating that haze around the light bulb with paint? Wow!

Bill Kibbel Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 It's quite difficult for me to appreciate it when I'm so fixated on the slope of the boiler's vent connector. I don't see how Lamb can see art in the crap we look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben H Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Dang... I thought it was a picture till I blew it up. Unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtblum Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Creating that haze around the light bulb with paint? Wow! And, another thing..... The more I look at and appreciate the effort in the detail, the more I feel the haze around the light is a mistake that takes away from it. Then again, it's his friendly cloud, around his happy little light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Interesting phenomenon: With the a mirror, I can see my pupils constrict when I look at the light bulb. They also dilate when I look into the darker portions of the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also dilate when I look into the darker portions of the picture. Some people have too much time on their hands. Like sitting in their basements painting still lifes instead of painting the place, selling it and moving to the lake. [] Jim, your monitor is shining light into your pupils. Santa gave my wife a Kobo for Xmas. It hurts her eyes to read it for any length of time. she has to put it down and look away for a while.

mjr6550 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I used to have slides of a painting of the basement in my old house. It also showed the boiler, etc. The former owner was an artist who specialized in photo realism. His paintings were about 6 feet by 6 feet. I believe the artist photographs the subject and then paints it from the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 No my artiste has to sit in the cold dark basement and do it the old way, or I ain't buying it. [] I know they work with photos but why bother with the paint then? Just use software. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
