    Why Goya preferred being on the other side of the easel.

    Not-so-great moments in phallic portraiture.

    Nice stink eye, subtle with just a hint of lip pursing.

    Back in those days, it was very difficult getting a before and after picture for your diet.

    I never could tell the difference between Mr. Wells and Mr. Fargo.

    The pain in Spain falls mainly on the painters.

    I’m not sure it was worth getting paint all over the good mirror.

    Any number of hemorrhoid comments occurred to me, but I refrained. Glad I did. Yours is better.

    Portrait of Francisco de Goya (at 80 – out of friendship with the artist, Goya agreed to sit for it): 

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vicente_L%C3%B3pez_Porta%C3%B1a_-_el_pintor_Francisco_de_Goya.jpg 

    (best viewed by Google Chrome which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to info about this painting. The strip image comes from elsewhere.

    (the last in Spanish has a bit more; again, Chrome can automatically translate) all have info about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. So far, 2 works by him have been used here. 

    https://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2017/07/17?comments=visible 

    has the prior one (one of the artist info URLs was also used in my comment there).

     

    Again, a larger strip image (this time not much larger) is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2001 (July 22, 2018) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

    Vincente knew he would never measure up to Goya. So he vented his frustration by making Goya posed long enough for his paints to dry out.
