I enjoyed that video. Nice quality production.

I was referred to a woman that needed a car, maybe 20 years ago. She had left the corporate world to a painter, and painted with oil based crayons. Beautiful stuff, with a recurring theme of "Cabin Fever," with duets of cabins or cabins flying in the air upside down. She is good- had won the Sausalito Art Festival painting division twice in a row, and one year Best in Show. She was prepared to trade in her VW squareback and put the rest on a credit card for another used car. I hooked her up with a killer deal on a Ford Escort wagon 2 year lease, and she bought it at the end. We are very casual friends, and I've gotten a couple of pieces from her. This was from a limited run of prints of a wine label she did.

This popped up today, well worth 20 minutes of any art lover's time.

You're inspirational! after reading your post I went on line and ordered a velvet Elvis. I'm not kidding. A full 24" Elvis hand painted on velvet. My wife said "you ordered what?"
It will make for the perfect gift. I know just who it's going to and I'm sure it will be re gifted over and over bringing shock and awe every time. I'll hang it in the house first just to get a rise out of the wife (it won't be there for long). I love the poker dogs too, hmm

Absorbing a bit of fistication.
I hope that is more fun than it sounds. Because it sounds eyewatering.
Did she bring a tear to your eye, you heathen?

PM me

You said it before I could say it.

I offered you that J Opper for around 1k...that went so fast to a guy in NYC that it would make your head spin. He thought it was fabulous.

What is with the blacked out pics on the first page?

Thanks Shaun, excellent find

[flatbutt]

Van Gogh must have used A LOT of paint by working in "impasto".

[Steve Carlton]

I commissioned this piece based on a very large version hanging for sale at a local bistro. Unfortunately, the artist changed the dynamite sticks into a grenade and zoomed in on the T-Rex. It doesn't look as good, but what can you do. It was cheap. I like the "never give up" quality of it.

[flatbutt]

there's a version of the never give up attitude showing a frog in an eagles mouth but with one hand around the birds throat.

Man cave art. Poker dogs and velvet Elvis flanking the 75" TV with the easy rider rifle rack hanging nearby

Hideous, all of it.

There’s an exhibition of his olive grove paintings in Dallas right now, about a week and a half left to go. There’s also an exhibition of Turner paintings, in Fort Worth.
