Portrait Ponderer Mugs

'Intriguing how the eyes follow you round the room . . .'

"This painting really speaks to me."

"What's come over you since Friday, Miss Schemke?"

That's perfect, my eyes follow you around the boardroom.

Artist ignoring a nude in favour of flowers.

"It's from around this time that we began to see a change of style in the artist's work."

"But is it..?"

"Have you noticed how the eyes seem to follow you round the room?"

"You've captured his intellectual prowess, overbearing demeanor and aura of invincibility, but unfortunately it looks nothing like him."

"Counsel for prose is overruled. Poetry, you may continue."

"Darling, I think we need to talk about where this relationship is going..." Male evolution.

"Needs to get a life"

'Why don't you try seeing it from your point of view?'

"...I don't believe in the past or the future. I don't even believe in right now. Everyone remembers the past differently. Everyone imagines the future differently. Everyone even disagrees about what's happening right now. So who's to say tomorrow what you and I did tonight?"

"May I offer a very different scenario?"

"Oh No!! - I'm deciduous..."

'And I thought I had a big egg to lay.'

'I WANTED to paint the room a shade of green, but gave up somewhere between chartreuse and citrine.'

'You called me out of the blue... Cobalt, ultramarine, prussian, cerulean or phthalocyanine?'

"Definitive." "Compelling." "Persuasive." "Upside down."

"The trouble is, professor, you see the Erlenmeyer flask half empty and I see it half full."

Objects in mirror bear no relation to reality.

Artist chained to his drawing.

'You have to do something...My husband just doesn't look at me the way he used to.'

Sign pointing to 'hindsight' and 'foresight'

The sad case of the blind-men and the elephant.

"Big deal! My digital picture frame can hold a thousand pictures!"

"Half full, or half empty? Do you want a positive spin, or a negative spin?"

TV-Mirror.

Trump attempting to pull down the thinker

'I didn't choose art. Art chose me!'

'I love your poetry, m'dear - it's very Ezra Poundish.'

"We're taking separate vacations this year."

"Gotta cut back on my binge thinking."

"Never mind how other see you, how do you see yourself?"
