The Irish Painter
A painter by the name of Murphy, while not a brilliant scholar, was a gifted portrait artist. Over a short number of years, his fame grew and soon people from all over Ireland were coming to the town of Miltown Malbay, in County Clare, to get him to paint their likenesses.
One day, a beautiful young English woman arrived at his house in a stretch limo and asked if he would paint her in the nude. This being the first time anyone had made such a request he was a bit perturbed, but then the woman told him that money was no object; in fact, she was willing to pay up to $10,000.
Not wanting to get into any marital strife, he asked her to wait while he went into the house to confer with Mary, his wife. They talked much about the Rightness and Wrongness of it. It was hard to make the decision but finally his wife agreed, on one condition.
In a few minutes he returned.
"T'would be me pleasure to paint yer portrait, missus," he said. "The wife says it's okay. I'll paint you in the nude all right; but I have to at least leave me socks on,so I have a place to wipe me brushes."
Ya gotta love the Irish!!!

Full Bus
Hey y’all…If you are interested, it’s been a while since I posted pictures of my paintings so not sure if you will notice that the date changed in the sidebar. Hope you enjoy…or they at least make you think. Now back to your regularly scheduled giggle. 
A husband and wife are waiting at the bus stop with their nine children.
A blind man joins them after a few minutes.
When the bus arrives, they find it overloaded and only the wife and the nine kids are able to fit onto the bus.
So the husband and the blind man decide to walk.
After a while, the husband gets irritated by the ticking of the stick of the blind man as he taps it on the sidewalk, and says to him:
The blind man replies:

“Why don’t you put a piece of rubber at the end of your stick? That ticking sound is driving me crazy!”
The blind man replies:
“If you had put a rubber at the end of YOUR stick, we’d both be riding on that bus right now, so shut up.”

Stolen Paintings
Meredith over at New Twist, After All These Years is back home so her Jack is at it again. Hope you enjoy!
A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre...
After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings, and made it safely to his van.
However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas.
When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied, 'Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings.'

I had no Monet
To buy Degas
To make the Van Gogh.
See if you have DeGaulle to send this on to someone else.
I sent it to you because I figured I had nothing Toulouse.

Tattoos!
Some of these tattoos are really hard to believe…but tattoo or just painted on…they are beautiful works of art!
Beautiful with so many ideas rolled into one!!!
Big Bold and Beautifully done
Fallen Angel, some of the best wings I've seen!!!
Deep lines and good shadows make this design just right off his back almost!!!
Amazing detail, that kitty just pops!!!
That flower stands out, but it's the detail in the portrait that is more amazing!!!
Some Bio mechanics under the flesh!!!
This color is so rich it almost looks like a piece of clothing!!!
For the gore lover, how about a werewolf heading your direction???
Black and grey, the lines are so soft that they just blend seamlessly!!! 
Even down to the eyelashes, details make all the difference!!!
These different layers of images really adds to the 3D feel of this tattoo!!!
Amazing design to tie in several pieces into one giant one!!!
Sometimes just black and red is all you need to make a strong statement!!!
Outstanding Feather Detail on this Phoenix!!!
