Okay, this is probably the weirdest thing I will ever ask on here, but does anyone have any information about this painting?

It's from the Hall of Presidents in Disney World but I'm going to assume it existed before that. I'd like to know where it's from because it's absolutely awesome.

The painting was done by a Disney artist, I believe first for the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln attraction. The Hall of Presidents art is I'm pretty sure all by Imagineers, but done in a style suitable for the era.

"The painting is accomplished in the style of Winslow Homer. Homer represented the school of naturalism, the realistic picturing of the contemporary scene. Homer painted by eye more than by tradition and he was an independent American pioneer of the impressionistic vision, then developing also in France."

CM Punk retained his WWE title! That means tomorrow he will have held the WWE title for a whole year!

Wow, I would have never thought those paintings were made specifically for Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln and The Hall of Presidents. That's crazy. You two are extremely awesome.

I have written 12 trunk novels in the past three years. I have never shown the manuscripts to any publisher, nor have I told anyone what they are about, with the exceptions of Secret Fawful and Haggis. I am too embarrassed to show them to anyone.

Secret Fawful · 11/18/2012, 09:22 pm

Except that you have neat ideas.

Anybody that didn't like the mystery novel with forum users has no sense of fun.

I think I'm beginning to lose my memory.

You're just around in General Chat... I mean, technically you COULD miss ToMI 2 and 3.

Didn't yet know about Winslow Homer, but research is rewarding. The Lincoln picture supposedly in Homer's style doesn't have the same ring to it for me. My first question would be about materials; and the painting is so luminous that I'd naturally assume it to be a watercolor (instead of oils). Compared to a watercolor painting of Homer's, the differences might become clear.

Some of the reflections at the bottom look a bit like Lincoln's floor... but I suspect that the Disney painting uses opaque media for the highlights (window, metal mantlepiece, glass) - gouache maybe. Not the thing Winslow Homer might have done.

Maybe that thing in the fireplace could be replaced with the LucasArts symbol, now. It almost looks like that already.

This is my favorite piece of Homer's art.

Write things down on sticky notes and then stick them to yourself. That is the best way to remember important and sensitive information.

I always write stuff on the back of my hand!

(Though you have to be careful not to wash it off though...)

Tattoos work way better.

I did that once with the phone number of a really nice girl. Talking with her had made me so nervous, though, that the number was unreadable because of sweat in next to no time. Never met her again.

I suppose the problem with sticky notes is one brisk wind and you've suddenly forgotten everything.

Chances are good that one has already forgotten most of the things BEFORE the wind.

Sticky Notes bore me. I hate looking at them.
