Minerva, I feel myself frustrated every time I want to comment on your work. I never remember your portfolio is a fortress:-)

I'll do here. The image is SPLENDID and your words also. Is this work available at Amazon.com? :-)))

All of you will smile or laugh. Will you bet???

Hilarious gag Armando.:-) As appointed head shrink for the group I shall have to consider the psychological implications of such humour!

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!! They are coming to take me away HA Ha!!!

Fun to reply here to a post that is already two pages back. I loved the photos of Leiteiras and Afiador, can we use them for reference? They actually gave me inspiration for a new painting... dont know when i will do it however :)

Leiteiras were called here (mind it is local dialect, not italian) "done del late" or "Babe del late" meaning "milk woman". They used to come from the hills around Trieste and when in town they stopped at a drinking fountain... what for? to drink? nooooo, to add some water to their milk!!! There is still a street called "Via della Zonta" where this fountain used to be. "zontar" meaning "to add".

As for the Afiador he was locally called "El Gua". You could hear him (no, i wasnt born at that time, i was told this by senior people) calling "Women, El gua is coming". Fun thing is that the verb "guar" has two meanings: to sharp knives, scisoors and so on, but also... to f-u-c-k ;)

Argh, last word is considered a profanity and system doesnt let me post. I hope this way it works :)

LOL, Armando.

I'm awake. Have been awake for 19 hours. Only 6 more to go and I can go home and go to sleep. :)

I'm laughing at your cartoon....

I couldn't stand the temptation to make a psychedelic version.

Armando Salas 06 Aug 2008

I'll not be around until evening. Then I'll reply your posts here.

"my busy spanish lover armando! :D"

"MY?" McDeleine? :-))))))))) Hmmm... What about Greg? :-)

Do you see, Dr. Freud?: THEY ARE PROVOKING ME!!!

I've been watching this as it's progressed...... great idea Armando! I love the interpretive creative juices flowing here...... this is what an art site should be about..... looking forward to more of the outcome.... good job everyone!

Terry Bassett 06 Aug 2008

As Leigh said.. "Great Idea Armando!"

I'm just sorry I haven't had time to play on this one, but hopefully there'll be others..:-)

Izabella Pavlushko 06 Aug 2008

Lior, yes, looking at your psychedelic version I feel anxiety indeed.

O-LA-LA !!!!! Anneke, brilliant idea to immortalize all of us together here.. It didn’t even come to my head before

Against the background of Armando I look just fantastically beautiful. Lior…hehehe… you placed his head on the very honorary place … among fish . First I thought that it’s kind of seafoods. Or this scene looks like we offer his head in sacrifice to Gods of seas for a better catch … hehehe

Thanks for pleasure, Anneke, you gave me.

Lior Goldenberg 06 Aug 2008

"...offer his head in sacrifice to Gods of seas..."

Not a good idea to make them angry, Izabella!!!

Armando Salas 06 Aug 2008

God of seas?

Anneke Hut 06 Aug 2008

Haha it's getting funnier by the day here! have a great day all of you! :)

Hey, folks!

Just created a Private Gallery. I'll store high resolution pictures there.

By now, only COSTA DA MORTE ILLUSTRATION is there. High resolution download is allowed: if you want to "dig", to see details, strokes, tricks:-) this one is your chance:-) The photo isn't good enough (I already took my flash in Ferrol) and I'll update the images. This one is still a bit dark on the left side but although my screen isn't totally calibrated I think the colors match.

Te code (keyword) to visit the gallery is very easy:

Who could forget me? :-)))))))))))))

I just read the entire list of posts. I want to enlist. I must have been some kind of a peixie when I was in my 20's; I used to help my dad on his boat in the Pacific North West. I saw Minerva's painting and she told me of the challenge. Carrie

Olga van Dijk 06 Aug 2008

Gosh Minerva (Minny) you look SO HOT in that diver's outfit!!

Comon' Terry play on this one with us!! ---

And Armando, why is that one in your PRIVATE thingy??

OK, love you all Amor y Luz, (Love and Light) ~ MOI

PS: I WAS IN THE NEWSPAPER TODAY!! Check it out....

Armando Salas 07 Aug 2008
