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!

Have you polished your tiara yet ?
One cannot be seen in the prescence of a minor Royal sans tiara .
Mind you I have a friend who cooks for Princess Pushy . I asked her if she had to sort of kowtow and what have you and she said ...of course not .She goes to KP and does the job and apparently PP is very nice and most charming and they have nice chats in in the kitchen !

that's true, I think this royal is actually in the top 30 heirwise, so correct dress and deportment is of the essence. Do I bow to him from the waist or the knee? Oh decisions decisions.

[shaneystar2]

Oh I don't know .....I think you will have to be seen correctly dressed in hat and gloves at all times and flash your pearls !!

And don't forget to wear any medals you may have accumulated even if they are only medals for for long service to the Chancellor of the Exchequer :)

Well that was a fun day downtown at the department store - I managed to scare two young boys sh1tless ha ha ha ha ha! They were wandering about aimlessly, the eldest one (about 7) dissolved in tears, and I started questioning them, you know, the way you do. Their mother had told them to sit and wait for her in the cafeteria while she went for some vegetables "but now she's been gone for AAAAAAGEEEES !", so I was going to suggest we go back to the cafeteria and wait a little longer and if she didn't turn up we'd ask the staff to call her on the speaker system.

I never got around to suggesting any of this, though, cos they were already headed downstairs for the grocery shop and I couldn't stop them without grabbing hold which I didn't want to do. So I said okay I'll just go with you then, to make sure you really do find your mother. And that's when the crying boy completely morphed before my very eyes, he stopped crying and told me "no, no it's all right, no really" - and held up a hand as if to say Back off, Lady. Very confusing, but I didn't want to leave them so I said Okay, I'll follow behind at a distance, just to make sure you find your Mum. This made the poor kid even more nervous, he kept looking over his shoulder on the escalator to see if they were still being "pursued" and the moment they reached the ground floor he speeded up as if to shake me. Problem was, he did manage to shake his little bro, oh lord... Finally big brother approached a check out girl - and morphed once more, the little *******, into the crying boy all over again...! Only, now it must have seemed as if he were terrified of ME - which I suppose he was...! Anyway, check out girl accepted to take over the responsibility for the two brats, and I went upstairs to find the cafeteria and inform the staff there... I'm exhausted...!

well, i'm off to the bush

hi all wooshing out for a haircut so can't stay....here's the html website link

bonjour mes petits choux-fleurs ......

< tut.....this place gets to be more of a right royal carry on everyday with all the innuendo...better not mention the squeezy thing that slides up & down the pole falling off in my hand>

Been a glorious day but looks like it might be about to change...I checked my artemisia, just in case it might be the new gastro-delight & it's untouched but aaaaggghhh!!! they've chomped my verbenas down to stumps, the bu&&ers! I'll have to go & buy a family size vaseline & to hell with the funny glances...I'll just have to say in a very loud Mrs Bucket voice "It's for the snails..." haha

I know I shouldn't but I can't stop laughing at the thought of Kit chasing kids around a store. It's awful though when you're worried about being accused of being a weirdo just because you want to help

oh crikey, it looks like she's got the taste for it now....

[DaSwede]

Ha ha ha I knew you'd all take the mickey out of me - I'm still cracking up here over The Child Catcher, Robinia... Part II of My Day At The Department Store consisted of finding a jeans jacket somebody had lost on the floor and when I picked it up it had a silver brooch on the lapel - in the shape of a cheese slicer. I sh1t you not. I thought you said you weren't a bling kind of person, Shaney, but whose else could it have been.

My youngest half-sister has a wonderful talent for getting herself into the most absurd situations; did I tell you about the time when a lady came after her in the grocery store shouting Hello! Hello! Hello! I am your mother! Hello! Hello! This was just a few years ago so sis was no kid.

I've been told that jno slept in the lift tonight so someone had better bring on the minor royals before she wastes away waiting...

[DaSwede]

Biddies what's that word again please, an "attachment" to a villa, a small room with glass walls - like this - Robinia told me but I forgot to write it down.

[Robinia]

conservatory Kit....
... are you going to cosmically (sp?) one for me?

[DaSwede]

Isn't there another word...? Conservatory sounds very familiar but makes me think of plants and I believe you used another less plant related word...? I received some photos from my eldest sister and some of them were of their dog and their son's dog in the conservatory and she's allowing me to post them here. I thought I'd give them titles so you know what you're seeing. The cosmic hot line is closed for the evening but thanks, Robinia!

(Piccies tomorrow.)

[VINNY100_2]

Sun lounge...(:O)

[woofgang]

hello all snagdabbittdangfastschnittermutter internet has played me up all day and I couldn't get in glad to see nothing has changed in my absence....can't stay as I have to prooofread the pension forms that DH has to complete so we get the moolah (neti yopu have all my sympathy re tax forms!!) so I have to stay sober and sensible tonight....normal woofgang will be resumed as soon as possible

[jno]

it's okay, kid, it's only DaSwede being friendly

[DaSwede]

Sounds beer related, Vinny... Thanks! Both suggestions seem correct, now where do I write them down... by tomorrow I'll probably be asking again. "Moolah" is going there too, Woofgang - never heard it but it's almost onomatopoetic (boy am I sober), makes me think of rolling around in paper money naked, just neeeighing and scaring little children and everyone else...

swedes

[woofgang]

yup that's what happens when you go into horse country with the windows open....cows is worse, saliva like glue! and they scratch their bums on your paintwork (hope swedes don't!!)
