Photograph by Gary Cross but pixelated to obscure potentially illegal parts!
What do you think of it?
Britain's famous Tate Modern art museum removed a provocative nude photograph of 10-year-old Brooke Shields after Scotland Yard warned that the image might violate obscenity laws, according to a report in the Guardian. Police officers went to the museum after reading about it in the newspapers. A Scotland Yard source told the Guardian the visit was a matter of "common sense" to pre-empt any breach of the law. The image was actually a photograph of a photograph which was at the center of a legal battle when Brooke tried to buy all the negatives and stop it from being published. She lost the case because her mother had allegedly given permission for the photo shoot.
We are a group of professional artists in Western Australia who open their studio/galleries to the public at the end of October each year. The artists are painters, sculptors, jewelery makers, photographers, stained glass artists, print makers, ceramicists in a wide variety of media and styles. Our web site at www.mundaring-hills-open-studios.org.au is well worth a visit. Most of us show and sell work in our individual web sites and many of us open our studio/galleries throughout the year

painting by Jakob Philipp Hackert 'Die Wassafall von Tivoli' #art #painting #jeremyholton
This painting by Jakob Philipp Hackert 'Die Wassafall von Tivoli' is a bit contrived with the water appearing in such volumes halfway up the hillside, but for me it is surprisingly satisfying. Partly due to the circular movement created by the trees at the bottom right through the water on the left and then up to the distant hillside.

Painting by Johanne Cullen 'Witness' I like this but I am not keen on the way the city in the background has been misted out on either side. What do you think?

Painting by Lady Pink 'Ghetto Pink' #art #painting #jeremyholton
New York City.- The Woodward Gallery is pleased to show "Lady Pink - Evolution", on view at the gallery from November 5th through December 30th, with an artist reception on Saturday, November 5th from 6-8pm. Lady Pink is the first woman in graffiti based art. In her current solo exhibition "Evolution," Lady Pink re-masters work she once created as public murals. Lady Pink muses on old lettering outlines which have evolved from three decades of writing. To the cultured eye, Lady Pink's street tag can be identified from the period in which it was deliberately constructed. The colorful POP- surreal canvases today, have her trademark name interwoven throughout the elaborate image, as if to authenticate her mark in art history. Lady Pink's unique personal vision has been communicated throughout her evolution from subway writer to fine artist.

Painting by Seraphine Pick 'Pocket full of rainbows' Another large painting, in a way I don't like it very much but then it intrigues me.
Painting by Simonetta Martini 'The flight' 2 by 1.58 metres. #art #painting #jeremyholton
Painting by Simonetta Martini 'The flight' 2 by 1.58 metres. This is a big canvas and looks as though it is unstretched. I have done many paintings with figures floating in space influenced by Chagall. You certainly get a feeling of space in this painting with almost Australian colours. I would love to see the original in a gallery.
