Ok, this is highly off color but terribly funny! What were the painters thinking!?

It's pretty obvious that renaissance painters had different standards than, say, Gerber. Legend has it that Humphrey Bogart's mom, a commercial artist painted him as a baby and sold the likeness to Gerber. Look how well he turned out, considering he had to overcome a name like Humphrey.

  Not quite. Although Bogey's mom did do a sketch of him that was used on another baby food ad.

    It's a pretty generic baby pic at best.

        The baby is and will remain an endearing portrait. It was wise of them to leave it in sketch form.

        I agree. It's such an iconic image now, isn't it?

    She's not old enough.
    Although much better to look at as an adult.

Those paintings remind me of how I never understood the "cuteness" of those peeing naked little boy water fountain statues.

  I intensely dislike putti. Which is the plural for putto, those disturbing cherubim

    Like you wrote about the artists, what are those putti owners thinking. Thanks for increasing my vocabulary, by the way.

    The best part is that I can just imagine someone 500 years ago, encountering some of these paintings, stopping for a minute, and then bursting out laughing...

Sometimes I wonder if it would have been nice to have children... then again, nieces and nephews go home. ,-}

    As I recall, they all at least wore diapers most of the time too. :)
    ...At least before they were ready for grown up pants...

      Hahaha, oh you're giving me a good laugh. Watch out for boys when they're getting changed...
      But yes, it's easier when they manage that on their own. I'm still uncomfortable knowing my son is driving around with the crazies on the roads now... They just come with bigger scarier baggage as they grow up. :-(

        My cat was fascinated by that video. The look on her face was 'stupid dog following orders', lol.

        Cats can be so superior! What attitude! Independent they are. laudable. Not much of a deterrent for home protection though... Nothing like a big dumb dog that barks ferociously at the tax assessor. :)

        I agree. I miss my big dog with the loud bark, a big smile and the waggly tail. Cats might be the ultimate Objectivist. They don't do anything not in their own rational self interest.

        that's why both Rand and Robert Heinlein liked cats. You can make them do things [like go to the vet] but you're gonna have to work for it. They only keep us around because we have thumbs.

        Obviously an inner city pooch - she knows how to "assume the position" and get frisked.
        
        She might be tough competition for NMA.
        
        If she wasn't so damned hairy, she might actually be cute (the pooch, not NMA ;-)

        Smart dog... smart enough not to resist arrest, methinks. :)

        I've been burning the midnight oil. :-). And painting a room in my house. Making my life interesting before Christmas and company arrives. 😜
