The Luck of the Draw - Brought to you by DB & Razzy

[Razzbeary]

Just 7 entries so far.

I told Razzy I thought it might be too difficult for Lit, but I didn't think it would be this bad.

I didn't think it would be either.. ... I think we need to put this topic out of its misery soon..

Hey Razzy just wanted to say no worries

I prefer the pre raphellites meself......but impressionists are good

It will pick up again once everyone notices its up and running I am sure. Personally I love doing this one, I know it can be a bit of a chore for you both but I for one really appreciate the time you put into it. It would be a real shame to see it go.

I totally agree about the pre-raphaelites. Love Millais, Hunt, Waterhouse, Rosetti et al.

It's not really a chore at all (not for me anyway) compared to the others, as there is less work involved..... but if people just aren't interested, what do we do? And it's been up a good while now. We did only say we'd only be gone for a couple of weeks.

What might be sad is that we have to dumb down some of the questions so people take part. My first foray on to this board gave me hope that people into porn, sex & erotica were just a normal cross-section of society, but lately it feels like the typical stereotype (people who take part in this apart) of the lazy stupid person is becoming more and more accurate.

Thanks for the lovely comments Fi.

More pre-Raphaelites lovers! Woo hoo!

(I actually have a Leighton print hanging above my bed - and I have my eye on a Waterhouse reproduction)

Hello all! Just a quick note to say there will be a new topic up later this evening... sooooo, if anyone still wanted to make some guesses, then by all means please do! You have to help redeem me for making a poor choice in a topic this time around!

Many thanks to those of you who have already posted your guesses for this topic! .. Lots of 'es for all of y'all!

LOL... every month there's an excuse why people don't reply..... It's summer. It's winter. The moon is in Uranus. The simple fact is that interest in these quizzes are waning. Maybe they've reached their 'sell by' date. If so, no probs. It'll be less to try and keep up with.

You don't half whinge sometimes...

You were away for the last few weeks, I bet EVERYONE was here then.

Hey, siren of the bear; I do hope you're very well.

Now, about this new topic ... where the hell is it?!

But you mustn't get me wrong here, it's not art itself that I hate - after all, art is paradox, and paradox is duality and if we cease being one then one ceases being whole so one becomes too fractured to be of use to one.

And, of course, if one ceases being two, one may well become fused into one so far that one can no longer truly live as one!! Thus, I feel one must too become one with one, for indeed, one feels true art is surely appreciating two contradictory ones at once inside one.

Yeah, I likes speaking about nice pictures ... it makes me look all entelectua - intelelectui - intellectua -

Clever.

Well guess what, wronggggggg! LOL..

The 5 Impressionist Artists that I PM'd DB with are:

Mary Cassatt (one of my favorites)
Edgar Degas (another of my favorites)
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (are you seeing a pattern here? Yes, a favorite! )
Claude Monet (lo and behold, another favorite! )
Camille Pissarro (had to break the pattern somewhere.. j/k!! )

Rules, guidelines & tips.

No editing!! Edited posts are disqualified.

One of us will post a subject in big bold letters.
We will then PM the other FIVE things from that subject, so we both know the answer.
The subject could be narrow.... or very wide.
You have to try and match the five things we PM to the other.

You only get 5 guesses and one post per subject.
So you will post one post with 5 things in it
You get 1 point for every one that matches
You get a bonus 5 points if you match all 5.
Example: The subject is numbers between 1 and 10
I PM Razzy with 4, 6, 7, 8 & 9
You all guess 5 numbers.....
FB guesses 1, 2,,7, 8 & 9.... she gets 3 points
MH guesses, 1, 2, 3, 5 & 9..... she gets 1 point
nauti guesses 4, 6, 7, 8 & 9.... she gets 10 points

Thank you for your kind words hon. Am hoping that with this newest topic, we'll see it pick up! We have no plans to see it go away.

I don't think you made a poor choice. I love the impressionists and have many Degas pieces in my house (sadly not originals ) Please just keep doing what you are doing you are much appreciated. Build it and they will come

Thank you also ERF for the lovely comment. Perhaps it wasn't so much "poor" as not being mainstream. LOL.. But never fear, we will keep on keeping on!

Well tie me up and tickle me with a feather!
Look who has popped up out of the woodwork! hehe..

Tis good to see you again Kylan. I am doing very well, thank you! Especially after recently getting to spend two very special weeks with the Bear of the Siren. I hope things have been well with you too.

Clever is as clever does, and one, well, at least I, can see from your post above that you are quite clever indeed. Now, do not rush to become one with yourself, albeit a somewhat fractured one, because as you can see I have moved us onward from the dreaded art topic, putting forth the new one! Though, if you have already begun the fusion transformation, feel free to step out of the shackles of paradox duality, and answer away!
