"OK, go to the Sign of the Tipsy Seahorse." that'll work unless, he's in Australia. In that case, "Go to the sign of the unfortunately sober seahorse."
Thank you, Genie; non-stained glass may not be the real thing but when it is done well it can be spectacular.
As for the sea horse, at least it has a nice view (if an upside-down one). It lives on the Quai de Valmy and gazes out through the plane trees to the canal. I wish I could join it.
Silly me! I thought at first look the picture was upside down, but I couldn't figure why the wrought iron would be at the top of the window instead of the bottom, as a rail. And then there's that shadow at the top/bottom confusing my little reality even more.
A confused reality makes the daily drudge of real reality easier to tolerate. The trick is in knowing the difference, keeping the balance. And knowing how to mix your colors so the grays don't get muddy.
I think the seahorse is taking a nap, hanging by its tail from the shadow.
And there is no grey in the world. Like white, "grey" (or "gray" in the Colonies) is made up of every colour in the visible spectrum so we should use every colour when painting shadows. I just opened up this photo in Photoshop and analysed the "grey" shadow at the top. It's actually a kind of sea green (R158;G162;B161/C41;M31;Y33;K1) with only one percent "black" in it. Perhaps the seahorse sees things in their true colours.
Chinese herbalists are very confused, Ms.M. I'd not come across fried seahorses. Scorpions, yes, but not seahorses. I'd imagine they'd be way too crunchy.
Mum, you've been watching too many wildlife documentaries.

Too much coffee, darlin? (The artist, not you, I mean.) xoxoxox
Either that or a swim-bladder problem.

… and the upside-down house.
The world is a strange place on Mondays.
He looks a bit wild-eyed but I guess being upside-down may be a contributing factor!
Your non-stained glass yesterday resembles a kaleidoscope... beautiful!

A confused reality is a fun place to be, Speedway. So much better than the real reality, which kinda sucks.

I think the seahorse is upside down in relation to the shadows being cast.

Dive, you're messing with my reality. >:-p
You know, it was a treat on at at school when we set up a rotating color light on a sculpture and I saw the red light/gel make a green shadow. etc.
Yep, the shadow is green, with a bit of violet at the edges - and some yellow under the eave (to compliment the violet in the shadow0.
Oops, I meant to type "one night at school."
WV: ambeer= stuff it seems we've been drinking too much of. And I haven't had any.
I rather fancy a glass of ambeer myself, Speedway.
Shadows are wonderful things. No matter what colour they are you can hang a seahorse from them.
Perhaps he is part bat!
Perhaps a Chinese herbalist lives there? A confused herbalist....
While looking up seahorses, I came across a photo of seahorses and scorpions on skewers, sold by food cart vendors. Talk about Fair food on a stick!
Sea horses are either gender are they not? maybe he got muddled..and went head down to have a think which he was that day!
"Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.". i think Oscar Wilde said it best.
A cool thought, Neetzy. Flying seahorses! Yay!

Hi, Brown. Oscar Wilde said so many things best.
