The last time I saw someone with a CB was in the 80s.

I imagine the only people who have them now probably live with their Grandmother, have no friends and smell of urine.
...or thousands of truckers nationwide, and Jeep enthusiasts like me...who use them for many different need when off-roading or even just traveling...I realize you may be kidding, but I take offense at the characterization nonetheless...

This painting of Van Gogh we did as puzzle when i was a kid. It hangs in my kitchen now. Somehow, inspite of all the hard work that is done in the painting, it fills me with peace just looking at it. Very difficult puzzle with all nuances all over the painting. The only thing that was easy was the two head bonnets of the two to the left, Orange and blue of a nuance nowhere else to be seen but otherwise really difficult but beautiful.
..it's a great painting, but it's not a Van Gogh...

Apologies if you take offence at that.

This is where things get lost in translation. I was referring to those in the UK who still use them. I know that it's a different situation in the US and they are still quite widely used.

Not? He used to make a lot of pictures inspired by others painters pic. I thought this was one of them. If not, Do you know who ot is by? I always thought it was one of them he did inspired/copied, sketched by Jean-Francois Millets Reapers. Could be a Seurat also. He also painted workers in the field.

Post- impressionistic. The Gleaners by Jean-François Millet in 1857. Finally that art history class comes in handy.
