That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 21, 2020

These are grapes of wrath, kiddo. Mommy’s mad!

Mommy has been mixing it up. I wonder if her husband is suspicious.

“Anyone for milk?”

I could have been a contender but I ended up as a child-minder. Sheesh

Dad’s a meat & potatoes guy. You split the rest.

This is Scarlett – our new Au Pair/ she does some strange things to her hair/ she strolls ’round the house/ without bra, without blouse/ but nobody seems to care.

What an awful painting.

Snack time at the nudist colony

I’ve seen a Horn a’Plenty, this is the first Vagina a’Plenty.

There once was a girl named Kat. Had three boys named Nat, Pat. and Tat. It was fun in the breeding, but hell in the feeding, when she found there was no Tit for Tat!

When you are too poor to afford a basket for your fruit.

Is that kid Jesus? Or Bacchus?

ok kids, time to start on solid foods. My breasts are killing me.

As a child, Bacchus liked grapes and other fruit. But that was before he learned about fermentation.

here, kid, have a sea slug snack…

She is fruitful indeed.

This is why you should never bathe a child in the drapery wash water. Mom should have taken a clue from Leigh Anne Touhy of The Blind Side (2009); “But I will not wear that gaudy orange, I will not. It is not my colour [sic] wheel and I’m not gonna wear it.”

If only wine making was that easy.

Here, go sell these grapes on the roadside so I can buy a blouse.

Turns out this is at the Smithsonian American, which has a nice little blurb about it.

Interesting tidbit: the artist painted it in 1910. That same year, somebody else gifted it to the American Smithsonian. I suspect that person was the original buyer. So essentially, it’s never been on the open market.

Here’s some fruit from my loins for the fruit of my loins.

Final tidbit: this painting is based on a detail from a mural he did in a New Jersey courthouse. Here’s an old photograph that shows the mural at the courthouse in which you can see the figural group used for this painting.

all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist (again, askart.com can be read in full for free on Fridays), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. So far, 2 works by him have been used here.

has the prior (my comment there had the same artist info URLs).

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (⌘- or Ctrl-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2561 (October 21, 2020) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

Looks pretty psychedelic. I wonder what Mr. Cox grew in his garden.

She was starting to worry about Suzie. How long can you live on flowers, anyway?

The fact that she has three small children may be directly related to her wardrobe.

“Keep the grapes! Where are the potato chips?”

joey said look guys, this nice lady will give us all this fruit if we take our clothes off, what fun!i just want the milk.

Looks like my Dungeons and Dragons bag of holding has been put to shame.

They seem kind of old to be breast feeding?
