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!

(The sellers' story, that is, Robinia, not yours. I was envisioning a husband bringing home wallpaper and his wife throwing it out again...)

falls in the door...

...crikey, I thought shaney was slumped behind it again....and what was that noise? was it neti singing?
I loved the blackbird pics btw mrs s, especially the second one....does your local paper or regional tv news show pics? You should send it in.

haha, it wasn't a private seller Kit it's a business that sells via ebay...
I love James T too...he can sing as he pastes in my boudoir any day. As long as he doesn't whistle...I don't like whistling...is Vin a whistler do you think? ....<more 'stick' stick coming my way I expect>

well it's taken me so long to get in here I've forgotten why I really came, so I'll toddle off & listen to some chillout/celtic/folksy musak while I make my tea......don't know what to have <sigh>

[DaSwede]

Vinny? Nah, I think he's more of a hummer really. / Oh I didn't know companies sell over eBay, I'm gonna have to have a look.

Saw something nice today; I was passing by a bike parked outside a block of flats when I suddenly noticed a hand-written note in the bike basket. It said "Enjoy your day [woman's name]! Drive carefully", signed with no name but one big heart and a smaller one - aww. A lover, leaving earlier than [...], or a friend just passing by and recognizing the bike - made my day too, which ever.

Look at the time, I've got a date with Simon Cowell tonight (American Idol.) I suspect you're a few weeks or even months ahead of us so no spoilers please.

hello peoples, I am back from some lovely sunny days in Mitteleurop, now organising about 600 photos, what a wonderful town. Hadn't been there since 1982, when it was rather less touristy than now.

Ooh and PS
Did you go to that ossuary Jno ?

[DaSwede]

Welcome home jno. Neti's been forging residencias while you were gone, so we're dreading a knock on the door at any moment. It could be Neti they're after or it could be you - 'cos we hear you tried to pay with money you told'em was british...

Oh wow Shaney that's an even better picture. I love blackbirds so much.

G'night!

Of course I'd never heard of the place before whispering Dan went there, but an adventurer like I doesn't need telling twice.. as soon as I'd hired a team of huskies and engaged some trusty native bearers, it was ossuary ahoy...

Well, I must get on planning my next voyage, to the remote kingdom of Chiki Chiki... I have it on good authority that it's this year's must-do

[VINNY100_2]

Don't wanna be a killjoy vinny whistler but I believe hemp oil doesn't react well to cooking and frying. Some days I'm on the verge of starting to eat fish 'cos I'm concerned about not getting enough of the right kind of Omega 3 (there are different kinds as well!)

Going to town, possums, can I bring you anything?

♪ ♫ ...spanish boots of spanish leather...♪ ♫

welcome back jno...see you found my ancestors, they looked the same when they were alive.

Loved the love note Kit....I came out of a shop once to find someone had stubbed out a ciggy in my bike basket, bl00dy cheek....
It's sooo spooky you mention bank notes, I found a 1000 Italian lira note in my front garden yesterday! very odd....

oi Vincent! <knew I shouldn't have mentioned whistling>...can you remember there was always an origami page in the Rupert annual? I could never do it...I always ended up with one of these

[DaSwede]

Oh I remember those, Robinia, I made them as paper fortune tellers (like the one you posted) but you can also make them "cootie catchers" and use them to make people believe they have lice, lotta fun, you google for it yourselves, I gotta get a move on.

[Robinia]

HANG ON!....the shopping list....

[DaSwede]

Got it!

[Robinia]
