… where to start? Theramin (talk) 23:17, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Theramin, this project is rotted; no encouragement to be found anywhere, but lots of flailing about and a flood of deeply trivial editing that pushes the substantive deep underwater. It's a web site for people with OCD (etc) at this point. I am not being rhetorical but speaking what I intuit to be the truth. Very few care about the substantive, on this here 3rd most popular web site in the world or whatever it is.

If you aren't going to stick around, which you should, then can you keep the eye candy out? I would pick "Hokusai painting the Great Daruma" for something outside the west, and after that the Turner or Martin as influences on American landscapes, which is currently my thing.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. This place can get you down. As they say, when the fun stops, stop. But I've done the Great Daruma, and taken a couple of other dusty items out from the cupboard and given them a wipe with a damp cloth. I've seen the Churches - excellent of course. I was toying with adding a Cole or two. Theramin (talk) 00:28, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, will look. I'll remove the rest of this. Outriggr (talk) 01:10, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think this answers your question. Drmies (talk) 00:48, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Was looking back through the history to see where that came from, but you beat me to the trigger. Roger fever's portrait of Napoleon in his cornsty, indeed. Theramin (talk) 00:53, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[1]. Have hesitated to share this with you with years. Same with [2] a certain other beloved visual arts editor. All the best and zzzz. Ceoil (talk) 11:29, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Great. I'd not seen that. Thanks. Most appropriate for the eve of Halloween. As well as being nearly an analogue electronic instrument, I am of course nearly The Ram Inn. Woo-ooo.

In return, I'll give you [3]. (I suspect you might be a purist; sacrilegious, perhaps, but on the whole I prefer [4] Best listened to with your feet in the air and your head on the ground.) Theramin (talk) 00:36, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was a purist in my 30s, ten years ago; I'm younger than that now and anything Pixies related gratefully appreciated (ps 90s indie is "really" well covered on wiki, you have fellow travelers there if its reassuring to your larger quest, for eg check out the Pavement albums, and even things like Uncle Tupelo and my bedrock Big Star.[5] Anyhow, weary tune for you and the recently landscape orientated Outriggr; zzzz and xxx to ye both.[6]. ps these days its [7].Ceoil (talk) 08:47, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any particular reason why you've included five Tissot paintings in The Gallery of H.M.S. 'Calcutta' (Portsmouth), four of which a) appear to have nothing to do with The Gallery and b) are not referenced in the text of the article. I can see three are women on boats; one is a women in a white & yellow dress; and those elements are also found in The Gallery, but ... so what? I tend to think that unless there's a point to be made, they should be removed; and if there is a point, it should be explained in the text. --Tagishsimon (talk) 02:57, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, dear friend. Glad you liked the article.

From your careful reading, I'm sure you noticed that the "women in a white & yellow dress" (the 1876 painting, Summer) is mentioned in the text: to quote, "Another woman in similar white dress with yellow ribbons appears in Tissot's 1876 painting Summer".

I'll leave you to work out why similar works by the artist may be relevant. Who knows, perhaps it might be helpful to give the reader some other examples of "Tissot's work, depicting his subjects with almost photographic realism, with an ambiguous narrative that hints at risqué behaviour among the wealthy classes approaching or transgressing boundaries of propriety." Or something.

Feel free to edit away if you think removing the images will make the article better. Theramin (talk) 03:27, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing The Gallery of H.M.S. 'Calcutta' (Portsmouth), Theramin.
