I was futilely attempting to do a Gerhard Richter motion blur type of effect to disguise it, obviously not well enough though, very good B if you know it, you better spill the beans for the others.

Oh! & any thoughts on a new user name for yours truly?

I don't think you should change your name again Andy.

Ok so, I'll let Bastados decide if he wants to rename me or not . .If he ever gets round to naming the art.

Ps. . B! hint for ya, I'd quite like to be named something along the lines of 'Darling' if you do want to nominate me one.

Oh well, at least I tried.



"For Gold, God and Glory" (Oil on Canvas, 70"x79")
is the artist’s own rendition of the arrival of Christopher Columbus and his crew in the Americas.


There were only several portraits of Columbus painted in the History of Art and they all looked like portraits of different people because nobody knew exactly what Columbus looked like. Igor Babailov created “his own” Columbus and based his depiction of features on the biographical description written by Columbus’s son.

Mr. Babailov used no models, but set up a mirror with one source of light and used his own image to create expressions and hand positions for subjects in the painting.

Preparation for the painting also involved historical research including investigation into the clothing and the fashion of that period.

Igor Babailov portrayed Christopher Columbus to honor all those before him that came to make this continent their home.

Oblomov . . stick-up some old sh1te there so we can ignore it.
