  1. Nice, Goya, I really enjoy his company.
    This dog is for me one of the most strange and modern painting of his work...
    Thank you Laurent

  2. Sunday's a convenient sabbath for viewing the submerged figure in your photograph in juxtaposition with the Creative figure absorbed elsewhere. I look at your picture without alarm, and Goya asks me if I should. I am very fond of your photograph for oscillating on the point of that awareness. Plus, I like how the coffee concentrates my study. :)

  3. Thank God my painting is next to the coffee machine and not the "Goya"!

  4. It was for this very posting that comment moderation was compelled. (I look forward to lifting it, soon - moderation, not compulsion). Several dozen readers took umbrage with the notion that I was steaming Sr Goya’s dog for espresso.

    In fact this is one of my favorite postings. I’m extremely taken by what it means to read the photograph in light of this first great painting, which one can regard only through the perspective of the second. Observation is a vivid element of the genius of your own blog. That and, as you say, coffee.
