20 After 1900 Remington produced an evocative series of nocturnes that feature darkness as an essential narrative element. Rendered in a muted palette of blue, green, and brown, A Reconnaissance depicts three cavalry soldiers and their horses in a moonlit, snow-blanketed landscape.

21 Remington!

I recently saw some of his work in person. So amazing. I really enjoyed it. Or maybe it was the setting. Or the folks I was with. Anyway, he imparts a sense of the West. The loneliness, solitude, wildness.

Thanks CBD!

31 True, the fellow on horseback has a U.S. Army style of coat with the buttons; he could be another regular soldier. On the other hand, the Indians often used elements of white people's clothing, especially in bad weather.

Remington should have done like our fathers and grandfathers did by utilizing the blinding light bar mounted beneath the movie camera so as to have all subjects in front blinded, squinting and totally washed out. It would have looked good attached to his easel.

40 The Met:

After 1900 Remington produced an evocative series of nocturnes that feature darkness as an essential narrative element. Rendered in a muted palette of blue, green, and brown, A Reconnaissance depicts three cavalry soldiers and their horses in a moonlit, snow-blanketed landscape. An officer and scout have ventured forth to a hillcrest to survey a distant tree line, alert to the possibility of confrontation. By turning the figures away from the viewer, Remington creates an aura of moody mystery and enhances the suspense of an uncertain outcome.

52 This one of my favorite Remington paintings. You can feel the cold, the light wind and the silence, perhaps broken by one of the horses. The stars showing against the deep night sky, the only real contrast in the image, enhances the cold and quiet. The bright moonlight allows the viewer to see enough detail, bringing out shadows in the snow, but doesn't clash with the soft blues, greens and grays of the scene. It is hugely effective and evocative.

Posted by: JTB at November 21, 2024 09:43 AM (yTvNw)

53 That could also be George Peppard and Henry Fonda from How the West Was Won, with Ricardo Montalban from Cheyenne Autumn on the horse. (Yeah, I watch a lot of Westerns.)

The standing soldier on the left: His hat looks closer to regulation, while the one on the right seems to have a hat that's been weathered a lot and serves only to keep sun, rain, and snow off of his face. He could thus be a scout, Indian or white, while the one on the horse could be another recruit.

Not quite. It was big news here locally in FL-01 when it all came about.

No one hired the con man, Joel Greenberg, and he was not "fresh out of prison" when he made the allegations against Gaetz. He was under federal indictment on a whole list of charges and was out on bond awaiting trial.

Looking for a reduced sentence, he entered into a plea deal with federal prosecutors by agreeing to provide information about Gaetz to the FBI.

As you correctly stated, the FBI closed its investigation when it determined that Greenberg (and the one chick who supposedly corroborated Greenberg's allegations against Gaetz) to be unreliable.

And by "unreliable" they meant "would be totally destroyed on the witness stand by Gaetz's counsel if a case were made and proceeded to trial."

“And you saw that today or yesterday when Sonny Hostin had to read a legal statement in the middle of a segment. The lawyers got in Whoopi Goldberg's ear and said, ‘We're bringing a statement in on a teleprompter.’ She reads it. So it is over for these far-left networks. Done. Never coming back.

Also it's not fair that Kamala was blamed for what this administration did because "the vice president has no power".

I didn't argue because I had to pretend to nod along, but it was fun to listen to. Same person told me back in April that Biden's condition was fantastic and he was sharper than ever. I said they were going to replace him with Harris and she said no way there's no reason to.

"In my opinion there are few more stimulating scenes than a sub-freezing night in the Sangre de Cristo mountains, lit by a full moon and millions of stars, walking through snow with a lightly crusted surface. You can hear the mist of your breath freezing in the night air and the steady "crunch, crunch, crunch" of your boots in the snow. Add a cabin with a glowing light inn the window and smoke from a blazing fireplace rising from the chimney and a pot of Missus Muldoon's chili on the stove, and you are talking almost heaven."

That is a beautiful scenario, Muldoon. Been there, done that although it was on the other side of the country and it was baked beans and brown bread.
