Red Lodge Horses

Theodore Waddell

And below the fold is a photo that I took of this piece.

Waddell Cody Red Lodge.jpg

Which is correct? The first is from the museum website, and I assume that they have at least minimally competent photographers.

And most important: which do you like better?

“His snow, the white of snow, is actually 10 plus different colors ranging from flaxen to light blues, to navies. There really is this awesome surface quality and Ted’s work I have to say, I always want to touch and I know that some of our visitors feel similarly. I’m really tempted because it reminds me of a thickly iced cake. But of course, I refrain and I asked visitors to do the same.”

The more important question: when viewing in person, did the horses look like they were on a snowy or salt flats landscape, or a sandy dessert wasteland?

77 Choosing between pix, reminds me of eye examinations--is A clearer or B.

My guess is different lighting for the images when taken plus possibly filters.

Dirt and aging can also affect an image if the painting is not kept well away from light and protected from crud in the atmosphere. Older paintings need to be cleaned (sometimes restored) from time to time and often amazing lost details are discovered in the murk.

Could be zebras, despite the fact it's very unlikely to have a snowstorm on the African plains. And the central horse looks like he has a saddle on his back. (Low profile. Probably English saddle.)

As they say: When you hear hoofbeats, assume horses, not zebras. Of course that should depend on where you are at the time.

107 The young patient and five others killed when their plane crashed into a Philadelphia neighborhood moments after takeoff Friday evening have been identified — as authorities made a disturbing discovery about the jet’s black box. Valentina Guzman Murillo, 11, her mother, Lizeth Murillo Ozuna, 31, Capt. Alan Alejandro Montoya Perales, co-pilot Josue de Jesus Juarez Juarez, Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo, and paramedic Rodrigo Lopez Padilla died in the Mexico-bound Learjet 55 aircraft crash, the company operating the medical transport flight, Jet Rescue Air, told CBS News. Valentina had just finished receiving life-saving treatment at Shriners Children’s Hospital

109 MoscowTimes:

For Russian NGOs and independent media operating in exile, many of which cannot generate revenue from donations or advertising inside Russia due to their designation as “foreign agents” or “undesirable organizations,” the sudden cutoff of U.S. funding is potentially devastating.

“This is the biggest funding crisis for Russian civil society since 2015, when Russia’s law on ‘undesirable foreign organizations’ caused several Western private foundations to shut down their Russia programs,” a Washington, D.C.-based source familiar with U.S. government funding for Russian organizations told The Moscow Times.

115 Dirt and aging can also affect an image if the painting is not kept well away from light and protected from crud in the atmosphere. Older paintings need to be cleaned (sometimes restored) from time to time and often amazing lost details are discovered in the murk.

Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo along with other identified victims of a medical jet crash in Philly; black box was recovered by the NTSB 5

The aircraft’s enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS) has also been recovered.

The black box and EGPWS will be sent to Washington, DC, for evaluation and could contain critical flight data.

123 I prefer the second version with its slightly greater detail and context. My first thought, like others here, was of a cave painting. This makes me think of a descendent of the Impressionist school. Not sure if this is deliberate or a style but I find myself looking more trying to work out the details. Not a fan of the style but it does draw the eye of the viewer.

125 The other huge thing from this weekend besides Trump kneecapping the left's funding?

The Census Director voluntarily resigning.

People may remember my harping on the fucked up 2020 census that the Bureau outright admitted that it screwed up. Analysis from outside groups showed that it misappropriated 15-17 House seats/Electoral College votes.

Getting the guy to just voluntarily walk off? Someone is very serious about cleaning up the Census Bureau.

The guy himself? Dedicated activist for "underreprestented peoples" or whatever. Think there's massive fraud going on at the Census that's going to be addressed?

I think the chances of Trump demanding a reapportioning of the House and Electoral College this Congress based on the corrected 2020 numbers has gone up from 0.01% probability to 1.9% probability.

That means they were doing one of two things:

1) Supporting the Uke side of the war
2) Pushing Big Gay or Tranny on kids

Since Russians can get a hold of western news sources for the former if they want its really not much of a concern. And the latter? Good that they are getting turned off.

I don’t know this painter, but the name does remind of someone I think I am related to from the early 1900’s with the last name of Waddell. He introduced himself as “Waddle”, I guess because people were always getting his name wrong. My grandmother not yet part of the family apparently said, “But surely your name is pronounced Wad-del? “ His response:
“I’ve waddled this far through life. I might as well waddle the rest of the way.” It’s one of those apocryphal stories that get handed down in families about all sorts of things.

For Russian NGOs and independent media operating in exile, many of which cannot generate revenue from donations or advertising inside Russia due to their designation as “foreign agents” or “undesirable organizations,” the sudden cutoff of U.S. funding is potentially devastating.

Rube Waddell was one of the most interesting/odd players in baseball history. Had a fastball like it was fired from a cannon, was damn near unhittable, but he was what they called at the time, simple minded.

The other team would sometimes distract him by making train noises. Apparently he was obsessed with them, and was known to have run off the field when he heard a train coming nearby.

Drank like a maniac, had trouble with the laydees, and died young. When the time came, he was honored with a place in the Hall of Fame, posthumously.

219 Which photo do I prefer? More accurately, for me, is which image do I read as more accurate with respect to the painting.

The white balance in the second image strikes me as being completely off - too yellow. It also appears to be under exposed which has plugged some of the darker arears of the image - this causes a loss detail.

The one from the museum has a more neutral white balance which preserves the blue and yellow tonalities. Based on my experience with photography this reads as more accurate. As for the exposure, it looks spot on. There is minimal plugging of the dark regions while the highlights are held without losing their delicate nature.

And, you can guess what was happening. The nice beautiful young lady would bend down in front of me to adjust the frames and, well, right in the middle of my eyeline was a low-ish cut blouse and some rather admirable curve underneath it.

Vulcan had been one big unified society for a while, so maybe there was only one dialect. We were allowed to assume that the language or dialect of the most advanced (i.e., spacegoing) race on each planet was the dominant one, the way English is spoken all over Earth, or the way the Parisian dialect of French long ago became *the* standard.

307 Red Lodge Horses
Theodore Waddell

Having spent more than a hours photographing landscapes I find Waddell in this painting is crushing it. If one let's their mind reduce a scene to its fundamentals, highlights, shadows, the full range of subtle tonalites, you arrive at something like this painting. It is an abstraction of reality but for me at the same time reads as a precisely accurate representation of that snowy field and its horses. Effectively he has written a visual poem of that moment and that place. It is a timeless place I have visited my times in my life.

In spite of no dog, this is a great bit of work

Prior to his passing, Carter was nominated in the audio book, narration, and storytelling recording category at the 2025 Grammys for “Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration,” recordings from his final Sunday School lessons delivered at Maranatha Baptist Church in Georgia. Musicians Darius Rucker, Lee Ann Rimes and Jon Batiste are featured on the record.

It’s Carter’s fourth Grammy. His posthumous Grammy joins his three previous ones for spoken word album. If the former president won before his death, he would’ve become the oldest Grammy award winner in history.

As it is, when you buy them you have to cut them up at just the right time. Too early and they're hard and flavorless, too late and they're soggy and brown-rotted.

Meh. It's usually not worth the effort, but they are a subtle and pleasant addition to sandwiches and salads.

409 The crew that replaced my roof after Sally were all Mexicans. They did a great job.

Funny story:

When I heard they'd be starting work the following morning, I decided I'd drive over from where I was staying to take a look at things.

I drive a very big, black SUV. It's Florida, so it has some serious window tinting.

As I drove slowly up the street toward my house, every one of the roofers stopped what they were doing and stared at my car. I thought one was about to jump down from the roof and start running.

I laughed, parked the car on the curb and got out.

They were relieved to see I was just the gringo homeowner and not a fed.

When I think of USAID I can't help but think there is a Colnel Flag type walking around the halls trying to pass himself off as an NGO funding adminstrator. Much hilarity ensues. Would make a great tv show.

I made the mistake of buying a pizza with that stuff on it the other day. I learned. Oh, yes, I learned.

It was a Walmart frozen pizza, and I was in a shopping hurry. Usually their pizzas are pretty good for what you pay. This was not.

The rising crust pizza from Winn Dixie -- I forget what their house brand was -- tasted this weekend as if someone at the plant had said, "Anybody who lets any flavor get into that sauce is fired." And the crust was chewy instead of crisp, too. Unh-uh.

Many will be in that situation.

It's adding insult to injury to tax people on money that was already taxed, IMO.

LOL.

I misread that as the Bee has given up, figuring they knew 'reality' couldn't get any weirder now with DH's selection.

491 The problem is whether one's monitor is accurate.

The first one is better as the colors are more true to the real painting as depicted in linked photo which includes color bars and a gray scale.

If you are not seeing CYMRGB as CMYRGB and a gray scale as gray, it will be off like the second one above which is way too yellow - it is snow, not horses peeing in the snow.

492 Flashphotography ain't always your friend...

Posted by: Richard McEnroe at February 03, 2025 01:19 PM (oFo59)

493 Neither image is better because the lighting and color saturation of the camera used by the photographer biases the outcome. What the author painted represents what he intended as his emotion he was trying to capture and project to his audience. The viewer can only experience that by physically being in front of the actual art.
Maybe Waddell wanted it to have blueish, cold overtones. Maybe he wanted it to have amber, warm overtones.
Maybe neither image truly captures the overtones Waddell created to express his fealings.
