In case you were wondering, yes, some of the Dutch cloth inspectors depicted in the banner image on my profile page ARE judging you. But they're also judging me.
This was possibly immortal artist Rembrandt's last great group portrait.
By 1662 when, "Syndics of the Drapers' Guild," was unveiled, Rembrandt had perfected the Baroque technique of making it appear that the eyes of the figures in the painting could follow the viewer around the room.
So no matter from what angle you observe this masterpiece, some of the masters in it will be watching you in judgment. Choose to focus on the judgers or the non-judgers, as the spirit moves you.
The animated GIF in my avatar image is the late esteemed and immortal thriller director Alfred Hitchcock.
That's NOT a guillotine behind Mr Hitchcock. The great British auteur is managing his figure by working out on an exercise device in his California home.
Later: Edited to add that I'm just going to stick with this Alfred Hitchcock GIF as my Beige.Party avatar image, if that's okay with everybody.
I need a good animated GIF to use as my Mastodon avatar image on this account.
Can anyone send me a link to an amusing usable one?
Thank YOU!
