Arnolfini Wedding

#1 Post by pnward » Mon Oct 27, 2008 2:08 pm

This is quite amazing. This picture is a mirror, which is part of a much bigger painting.
The amazing bit is that I live in Spain and there is a huge reproduction of this painting in my favourite bar. I know this doesnt help to solve the puzzle but I thought you should all know just in case you want to visit and come and see it.

The pub version does seem to be lacking papa smurf, I will take a felt tip pen and amend this obvious error tonight whilst having a couple of drinks.

Yes its an invitation - puzzlebrainers are welcome to have a meet up over here and it is quite cheap to fly to Murcia and I can get good deals at the hotel.

I'd like the Spain part, The HK part is getting to be old now. But this sounds like a good plan to me. I can take you all to Disney on Thursday! :roll: :roll: :roll:

I've got 5 of the pictures but cannot see how the other 5 fit with the theme I think it should be.

it can't go round in circles using [specific reference removed - Scurra]. Nothing readable comes out of that. Maybe I should stop going round in circles.

I backsolved the boat one after knowing what it was I should be searching.
It's an album cover. Hope this isn't too blatant.

Oh bother!

(Not for any very good reason except that I had a few half formed ideas that I hadn't tried out. I think they can now be put in the bin without trying them)

Off to play with google images again I guess.

No I've drawn a complete blank. I'm thinking of getting the half formed ideas out of the bin and recycling them :(

I've got what I think are the answers for most of the pictures - but once again stuggling to see anything.

Anyone care to offer me a hint :?:

I need a clue (or three) on this one. I know what 5 of the pictures are, I don't know what the other 5 are and I have no idea how the five I have got are connected (if they are connected) and how to get an answer from any of it. I think I'll go on google and try and work out what the other five pictures are. I doubt I'll solve this puzzle without knowing what they all are.
