more than a detail

[DaSwede]

What's the conventional term used to say "I've cropped the image of this painting, but only slightly"?

Here's an example:

1) The Mona Lisa

2) The Mona Lisa (detail)

3) ...but how do I describe this kind of cut?

I can think of ways to say it, but my question is What would be the conventional term used in the art world. How would they phrase it in a catalogue from an exhibition.

Thanks!

[DaSwede]

...but ...but Shaney just said she washed up and pegged out - so which one of your translations applies, Robinia? Shaney are you still with us? I'm a bit worried, considering how your ancestors went...

Oh you scare me Neti, my hairdresser cut my hair forever the last time, this was at the saloon but from now on she'll be doing it at home, like yours. Good thing we don't want the perm!

Haha..I've been washed up for years Kit ...By washed up.. I meant washed up the dishes .I do have a dishwasher y'know but he's away at the moment . I also have a dishwasher but as the dishwasher is away I do them in the sink .You see ..I am not logical enough to load a dishwasher apart from which It does my back in unloading it .
When I peg out I want .
Here lies Slack Alice of Shaneytowers
She knitted squares for Hours and Hours .
Her only vice was Cheddar Cheese
Microfibre her Gravestone Please ......

[DaSwede]

Ha ha ha that's brilliant Shaney! <Just as long as we don't need to keep the threads clean> I don't like microfibre, does weird things to the skin of my fingertips.

[netibiza]

[shaneystar2]

Here lies Neti in her Leggies
Surrounded by her Giant Peggies
If by chance you pass this grave
Please give Neti a little wave .

Boy. it's a scorcher ..I have been in the garden doing me crosswords and guzzling tea but have had to come in and cool off . Hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather .xx

[netibiza]

Thank you shaney that is lovely, and no reference to sweti - I appreciate that! x

Here lies a woman called robi
Who went from a stick to a blobby
Her big mistake
Was too much cake
She should have found a less fattening hobby.

[DaSwede]

Ha ha ha, you all have a knack for writing epithaphs, that for sure! It's too darned hot for me, can I be excused and die another day, please. I'll just post some of my old favourites from the great cyber graveyard:

Here lies the body of our Anna
Done to death by a banana
It wasn't the fruit that laid her low
But the skin of the thing that made her go.
Anna Hopewell's grave in Enosburg Falls, Vermont

Here lies an Atheist
All dressed up And no place to go.
In a Thurmont, Maryland, cemetery

Here lies
Johnny Yeast
Pardon me
For not rising
In Ruidoso, New Mexico

Here lies the body
of Jonathan Blake
Stepped on the gas
Instead of the brake.
Memory of an accident in a Uniontown, Pennsylvania cemetery

Here lies a man named Zeke.
Second fastest draw
in Cripple Creek.

Stranger tread
This ground with gravity.
Dentist Brown
Is filling his last cavity.

[Robinia]

[netibiza]

Here's one for "you know who" sssh!!

The sick stick,
Went quicK!!

[DaSwede]

Ooooo Neti Stick Woman does look a bit sick after that ride that Vinny put her through but at least she wore her new pvc so she's going in style and that's something!

Today is my youngest aunt's 80th birthday so I've been trying to get hold of her on the phone but the old folk ain't where they're s'poster be. She's the last one of eight sisters and brothers, all the others are gone - can you imagine what that must be like, kid sister all alone. She has a husband and two son's but she misses her siblings.

Her father, my maternal grandfather, was a meat industry enterpriser who became a millionaire at a time when there were only twelve millionaires in all of Sweden and then he contracted syphilis and experienced onsetting dementia probably 'cos somehow the people he did business with managed to trick him out of his fortune before he died. Me being a veggie it is kind of funny, someone I knew stared at me and burst out laughing when I told him this story: "Oh Kit, to think you could have been a Meat Princess!" It's an interesting thought, me heiress of a meat empire...

[Robinia]

too hot, hot ,hot for pvc today!
I'm a shrivelled stick

(hahahaha...found a new toy on this puta)

well I'm loving the thought of you being a meatball mogul after all Kit....c'mon, chop, chop...stop mincing about.....

<she's soooooo gonna regret telling us....>

I am now going to watch Midsomer Murders ..hope you have all had a good day ..xx

[DaSwede]

Aww Shaney she (?) 's adorable, thank you for posting. My sister was just telling me today about one of "their" birds - I've already forgotten if it was the magpie or the crow this time - who comes to drink from their bird bath regularly. Today he was sitting on a fence with a dead mouse in his beak, made a dive for the bird bath, carefully placed the mouse "by the side of his plate" tr�s d�bonnaire while he drank and then picked it up again and flew away. Sis is a bit torn... says all animals are welcome to her garden but she wishes they wouldn't bring their corpses with'em...

Erm, Vinny... has your son had his serious talk with you yet... ;-)

tomorrow will be cooler

[VINNY100_2]

Wakey Wakey..!
these lovely sunny days arnt just fer afternoons yer know.What a beaut out there.A young jimmy page just fer you jude..very rare...
yo later dudes...work calls>>>>whoosh.

[Robinia]

tut, bloomin' cheeky hippy
<<<CRACK!!>>>>smashes Mona over sproutman's head>

There you go da Vinny....you've been framed...

G'day each & every (where's Dolly btw?)...
...ooh, booger, think I've done myself a mischief snippin' & clippin' - it's a lot cooler today so I forgot to stop. I might have to sit & watch a bit of daytime diy while I have some medicinal tea & cake....Hopefully I've got some wallpaper for my boudoir coming in a few days, I found it on ebay at less than half the price of B&Q! even with p&p it's still a lot cheaper....knowing my luck it'll be all blurry or have wavy edges.
now....I just need a man who can....

[DaSwede]

And here he is, Robinia. (Love James Taylor, he's like a fine wine, just gets better.) Wallpaper for sale on eBay, talk about "tells a story"...

Yes I was thinking about Dolly too, how you sometimes will say "found you at last" when you drop by, Dolly - you haven't changed your email address have you, so that our new-home-announcements don't reach you? (As if you'd be reading this if you had - stupid Kit.)

That Mama Don't Allow sure stirred some memories for me Vinny - it's just that I can't identify quite what they are, ha ha... I think perhaps Dr Hook & The Medicine Show used to do it on their concerts for a spell there, and I saw them often enough.

You there Woofy? I've written in the lads' new guestbook! But my message didn't appear on the site after I posted it...? Also, are you aware that the counter counts every time you land on the first page, i.e. even when you're just turning the pages back and forth you're counted as a new visitor. (Just thought you might wanna know about that.) The new pictures were lovely and funny!

Speaking of dogs, I'm totally falling in love with Siberian Huskies. I like how talkative they are. Then again, they say the things you fall in love with are the very things that will later annoy you... annoying...?
