That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 16, 2012

That smile on his face says it all.

And yet he has his own square. . ..

X marks the spot.

“Tonight, I observe #3 on my list… Oooooo, it’s gonna be a good night!”

You mean nobody has come up with the “heavenly bodies” comment yet?

Enlarged available from here. A bit about the man and the painting. Another enlargement (more intense colors). Rittenhouse Square. More about the man with a different portrait of him by this artist. Yet another (click to enlarge more and more) portrait of him by this artist. Second of the 5 works by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here. This is the first one (also posted there today).

he also invented the binocular. he was tired of missing stuff when he switched eyes…

“What do you use that to look at, Sir David?”

“As… tronomy…”

“Is that a telescope in your pocket…?”.No,Dear. I am checking our hot neighbor in her tub.. I mean our neighbor in her hot tub…No, no! I mean… Ugh, what was the question again?

“The hidden base is right here, now take the lazer gun off me.”

It did cause an uproar even in England, so the planet was named Uranus, after the father of Saturn and the Titans.

Here is another work by this artist.

My updated notes on the featured painting can be found here.

Well, now.
