I met up with a friend in the back and beyond of Snowdonia before the galleries shut again in Wales and bought this......isn’t he delightful?
We met a third colleague and friend ( social distancing of course) who has had a dreadful time of late to offer some moral support.
The Welsh Countryside has never looked so alive
It's YOU John!!! Not that I know what your nether regions look like but it's so like you { I mean that in a good way ! } Did you sit for the artist ?!!!? XXXX
ReplyDeleteI wish
DeleteOoo-You in the noddy!-is the artist a dish John?x
DeleteHow uniquely quirky John-and to me it looks like a little doggy with his cheeky tongue hanging out eating a bone x
ReplyDeleteIf you look at it just right ... the belly does look like a puppy dog ... funny!
DeleteI thought the same! :)
DeleteOh that is so good, had to take another look and you are right. x
DeleteIt DOES look like a puppy, lol
DeleteI like him...he seems to be looking up at the sky pondering whilst scratching his tummy a bit. Completely comfortable with himself being nude. Well balanced: eyes, nipples, both hands. Relaxed. A good feeling. Stay well John, Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHe’s comfortable as much as I would be uncomfortable
DeleteThat’s why I liked him
Well, l am lost for words....
ReplyDeleteAlright then, l'll try a few, your litte man looks like a Scottish Druid, and l am sure the Welsh countryside would be 'alive' with him running around.
Tess x
If I used words, they would fail me...
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteOh get over yourselves lol xx
Delete, he is little darling, a d will make you smile every day. Looks like the grown up version of Morph from Vision On on BBC children's tv from way back when. You just had to bring him home to a place where he will be loved and understood!
ReplyDeleteDo you think tony hart would have approved ?
DeleteYes! He was an ex army officer with a wicked sense of humour!
DeleteI wonder if your little statue is the male version of the Venus of Willendorf? I am wondering if the lines up the arms are the impression of tattoos?
ReplyDeleteCould be , I thought it may be hair
DeleteDefinitely a bear...
ReplyDeleteAnd very my type
DeleteJust have to find me a real one lol
He looks ever so familiar.......
ReplyDeleteIt's fun and looks like someone scratching their tummy! Snowdonia is gorgeous and I know it so so well having spent a lot of time there since childhood. My dear late nain was born there.
ReplyDeleteYou were obviously attracted to him.
ReplyDeleteHe’s a corker
Deletelooks like santa got naked...
ReplyDeleteHo ho ho
DeleteSmiling. I too could see the puppy.
ReplyDeleteHooray for moral (and sometimes immoral support). We all need it.
He's rather well endowed considering his height.
ReplyDeleteImagine looking at that when your eating your eggs and sausage 😂
Just kidding, he's cute.
Jo
Just what I would LIKE to look at first thing in the morning
DeleteTrollop
DeleteDoes he come with costumes?!? I'm thinking a mini leather harness, lol. Or else a selection of Walking Dead t-shirts, no pants needed.
ReplyDeleteLol if anyone could make him one I’d be chuffed
DeleteI'd certainly like to know what he's thinking about as his face looks contemplative. Of course, he could be wondering where he left his drawers or where the draft is coming from! :) Enjoy your new friend!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Simple pleasures
DeleteHe is brilliant! I wish I had your knack for finding unique pieces of art.
ReplyDeleteWe are lucky here , there are several unique galleries ...alas the government closes them again on Friday
DeleteOooh I like him so much. Name of artist please!
ReplyDeleteHe would be very comfy in my inglenook

DeleteI like the sculpture and he reminds me of you, the beard I'm thinking:)
ReplyDeleteAnd the tum
DeleteI have a couple of nude fighting men on my piano, I don't know what people think when they come calling but I love them, One has hold of the others penis. lol
ReplyDeleteBriony

“ I have a couple of nude fighting men on my piano”
DeleteMucky cow
Go on - put it on the kitchen window sill!
ReplyDeleteHe’s on the kitchen counter top next to the kettle
DeleteNot sure delightful is the right word but I love him.
ReplyDeleteHe stuck out from all of the others
DeleteLiterally 😋
DeleteTee hee
DeleteExactly my type of art. Brilliant!.. I get the puppy dog too. I love him.
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
There is something of the chutzpah about him
Deleteis he wearing a mask?
ReplyDeleteIt’s his beard
DeleteI didn't know you did nude modeling?
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the ........confidence
DeleteHe needs a Christmas scarf or winter hat and he will be ready for the season!
ReplyDeleteYes. You could dress him up for all the holidays. But please- no pants. Perhaps just tiny hats and scarves.
DeleteI’ve stood him next to the kettle in the kitchen , where he’s standing “ proud”
DeleteI adore. Now get him a nice scarf and a red Santa hat. I want to sit on his lap.
ReplyDeleteLol .....he’s my Christmas fantasy
DeleteThat sculpture is absolutely delightful.
ReplyDeleteI knew you’d like him
DeleteJohn,each to his own, I guess. I'd rather the real thing, methinks.
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteI have a giant dick dock clock John-my aunt was disgusted x
ReplyDeleteI'm nursing a boner x
ReplyDeleteLol and don’t get out much xx
DeleteOh dear poor darling-I do hope it's not too painful Mavis x
DeleteYes, definitely a he. He looks very well nourished.
ReplyDeleteWell you and I share a type! He's cute!
ReplyDeleteIsn’t he just
DeleteJG he looks like he was made from jobbie !!! He certainly has a chunky knob ! x
ReplyDeleteLol say it as it is
DeleteI love him! He’s “out and proud” and clearly comfortable in his body, dangly bit, wobbly bits and all! Quite aspirational, although the medical bods would question his BMI!
ReplyDeleteHow very interesting! One of my relatives came to visit us when I was younger (he lives in the Philippines) and he brought this wooden figure that had a barrel around him. When you lifted up the barrel, his thing stuck straight out, on a spring and it would jiggle. It both fascinated me and embarrassed me (because I was so fascinated by it).
ReplyDeleteI remember we had one of those when I was a child! Yes a barrel with his head poking out then the jiggling thing on a spring underneath Which if I remember rightly made him very well endowed and I do remember the end of his endowment was a very bright red!
DeleteI haven't a clue how we came to have it though. I'd completely forgotten about it until I read your comment.
He is his own person, isn't he? Oné of a kind, unapologetically himself. Something has caught his eye, just as surely as he caught yours.
ReplyDeleteI love him!
ReplyDeleteYour taste in art is far from objective.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone’s lol?
DeleteYour new statuette has a very SOULFUL look about him!
ReplyDeleteYour new statue might be considered a takeoff on Manneken Pis held in the Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium. MP at 61 cm (24 inches)even has an infamous wardrobe and is dressed up for special occasions.

ReplyDeleteI love this. It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteHe looks happy and seems to have an outgoing personality. There is something strangely familiar about him like I've seen him before? I love everyone's description of him!
ReplyDeleteWhat a character! Here the outdoors areas are positively packed with people -- I guess everyone's taking advantage of their outdoor exercise, having nothing better to do during a lockdown. Glad you were able to meet up with your friend and colleague.
ReplyDeleteAt a loss for words
ReplyDeleteI too have no words for this piece of ... art!!
ReplyDeleteI can see that it would be hard to resist buying this fun work of art a good conversation starter no matter where you put it.
ReplyDeleteI like it! What does that say about me?
ReplyDeleteLike it! I wonder where you got it? I used to stop at a pottery on the A5 (glasfryn?) It reminded me of things he used to make. He used to have (still has?) crowds of tiny "kiln gods" he's made. When this is all over, hopefully we'll be off that way again.
