At least the painters that actually read the Bible showed David with red hair.................

[Hebrews 11:6]

That is comforting, isn't it? They'd paint you with a RED badge...........................

[etabeta]

Excellent presentation, Dan. You know the ones I like. Of course!

[Red Badger]

A bad habit Renaissance painters had was painting people they knew into the scenes they painted. Not usually the central character, but the extras.

I’m sure the patron would be pleased if their mug or their child’s mug was included as a benefit.........................

[Hebrews 11:6]

I can see right through you, Alba!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Or their dog....................

[etabeta]

In the Renaissance, it was the patrons who who were the artistic force behind the work so, incorporating them or other influential members of their families, was a reminder to all who had paid for the work of art and to show themselves as participants in the projects. The production of art and architecture was a complex process, from costs to material, size and subject of the work, location etc. Thanks to these patronages we still can admire the great works of these artists.

[Hebrews 11:6]

And their dogs.

Thanks, Alba.

Good Morning, Dan! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Speaking of dogs, please greet Tippy for me, Mary-Lou!

[delchiante]

Nice variety.

Tried to find any cups running over hidden in these, but didn’t spot any..

[left that other site]

Certainly! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Oh, well....

[delchiante]

I guess I can always commission one where he’s drinking from his saucer cause his cup is overflowed..

Maybe that’s too country

[Hebrews 11:6]

23rd Psalm

[SouthernClaire]

That’s a song sung by Michael Combs, d., “Drinking from My Saucer,” is excellent.

Best regards, Del.

[delchiante]

Wow!

Thanks for the link. I saw the Psalms was through to 23.
Is that because it was Psalm 23 as the topic?

And to think, I was going to link to Jimmy Dean recitation of a song/poem called ‘Drinkin from my saucer’ I found on YouTube

Like your link better

[delchiante]

I didn’t know that. Thanks.
I heard Jimmy Dean perform a recitation of it on an old RFD tv show..
