anything you can do i can mediocrely

By 8/14/2009


first of all, absolutely NO offense whatsoever to homegirl, or any other professional artists out there BUT, when i saw this painting on nick's blog i thought, hmm. i could do that. i could TRY to do that.

so that's what i'm going to do.

sally king benedict's paintings are lovely. maybe jamie clark meares' will be too.

  2. I think I may have to give it a try, too. I rarely come across art that I really love, but something about this piece does it for me. Let us know how yours turns out!

  3. I tried it once and it looked like Mattie the Schnauzer Russell did it with her left paw tied behind her back...

  6. you mean no offense, but it's still a backhanded insult. art is so easy if you just take the time to do something your five year old could do?

  9. You go girl! I've heard some people say a Rothko makes them cry. I swear those same people would cry at the swatches currently painted on my wall, in a double-blinded study.
