boston2006, didn't Edward Hopper paint the lighthouse in your photo? his painting is called 'Lighthouse At Two Lights'...think it was done in 1930...thats the one isn't it?

I know that Edward Hopper resided on Cape Cod and it was an inspiration for many of his paintings .

I'm going to guess that his subjct was the now defunct " Twin Lights " at Chatham .

I've many photos of the single remaining lightouse in Chatham but sadly do not have one of the " Twins "

tony bennet is big into his paintings. i met the uhh charmingly mega friendly miles davis at a gallery opening exhibit of HIS paintings in the hills of beverly. oddly, or not, ...no oddly it IS!! johnny cougar was there gushing over miles (who wouldn't actually? the guy's prescence and charisma and sense of self was enormous!!) and i guess johnny cougar paints too...

Maybe Amsterdamned can explain, but me being from Rotterdam I don't understand our arch rivals and friends from Amsterdam at all.

I thought you were born in Nijmegen and live in Dordrecht .



I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

My favourite works of art ?

Photography,even if some people say it's not art but a technical.

Edith Grove--did you see the Night Watch?

Yes, only one wing of the museum is open, and many of the classics are on display there.

Night Watch is one of the last displays you see as you go through the museum.

"Starry Night" by Van Gogh





Mick's rock, I'm roll.

Thanks all, this was a great thread! And Boston. you are a romantic lad, aren't you now?? I also love light houses, especially the Nubble in York Beach Maine. I've photographed that hundreds of times! And Van Gogh, he has always appealed to me, maybe because he had such a tragic life.

You can visit now some famous museums (Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum and others) while sitting in your silk upholstered chair. You can virtually walk through the museum you choose.
Enjoy!
