The Art of Innuendo

First, make no mistake; this is a thread for artists, not for those of a gauche bent. With our brushes in hand, we shall cover this cyber-canvas with short and long strokes alike. If you aren't familiar with the discipline, let me get you in the mood with a delightful Georgia O'Keefe painting.

What a lovely floral depiction -- Georgia, you're a peach. Now, just as this is an art, it's also a thinking person's subject -- but that doesn't mean you need to think outside the box. If fact, I suggest you dive right into it, head first (after you've put on your thinking cap, off course).

With that said, I open the thread to all who would enter its warm embrace.

I have no art of my own to offer up to this thread, but the depiction you post is very beautiful indeed. I would hope not too many would need to think too long on the painting to embrace its essence.... Smile

Oh my, I see that this thread has been placed in the Art Forum. Perhaps my initial post was too subtle. While an art of sorts (or rather, a sordid art), I doubt many here would embrace innuendo of the type I described. The Humor forum may have been a more proper location. I almost hesitate to continue with my wordplay among such right minded folk as those that frequent the Art Forum -- I suspect that none will join me here, forcing me to play alone and with myself.

Don't you prefer art over medicine?

"Innuendo" is in fact, an innuendo, if you care for wordplay, or if you are Italian. Humour may have been better, I agree. Wink

How true, but I wouldn't be so vulgar as to couch this thread in more explicit terms.

And often much more.

I'm glad at least one person has joined me from the Canada thread in politics. I found that thread a little frigid; I thought we should move south. With that in mind, I offer a short poem.

This one is dedicated to those glib of tongue, and I don't fancy myself as such -- though I've been practicing of late. Not surprisingly, the poem is called "The Cunning Linguist":

Civil and subtle,
using words not too crass,
No doubt he said "donkey,"
though he really meantÂ…

I thought innuendo was an Italian suppository, until I tasted Smirnoff's....

Hmmm....I think I can improve on that Steppenwolf:

The cunning linguist
always knows
to speak in tongues
and learn from prose

Steppenwolf, that is a very tasteful description of O'Keefe's flower.

Surely, but we water them with care.

Have any of you seen the Spanish film, Talk to Her? There is a scene showing the ins and outs of decision making right at the point of entrance.

Wonderful film.

Ah, life's ins and outs -- always a pleasant subject for banter and intercourse.

are you hoping someone might cough up another inuendo in art? I think Georgia gets the prize.
