He looked at my painting for a couple seconds and exclaimed, "Balls!" <br /><br />"What?" I asked.<br /><br />"Balls." he repeated.<br /><br />Confused as to what he meant, and wondering if he had just gone nuts, I asked, "What do you mean?"<br /><br />He then pointed out several shapes in my painting that were way too uniformly round, kind of like those potatoes you wrote about. Since then, I have done my best to avoid making paintings that could give anyone any reason to shout strange things!James Gunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626977085862840924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-86408752042498481412011-05-17T11:11:16.876-04:002011-05-17T11:11:16.876-04:00Too funny!Too funny!Stephanie Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01509283083557327502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-88163633860283343752011-05-17T07:51:57.540-04:002011-05-17T07:51:57.540-04:00Tis true, this fable of yours!

Was the goverment school you speak of known as Yale or perhaps RISD?<br /><br />Never I have I laughed out loud so hard while reading about art!<br /><br />I also noticed that the trees are all the same shape, not like potatoes exactly, more like sticky rice balls.

But I swang mine around so it made a circle. If Aessaert put an open gate in his fence, would that be OK? <br /> I loved the knife post and now I know what separates man from animals. Would a pig or a cricket ever think to reshape a tool to something he needed? No. Only humans are blessed with this trait.willekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626541339963605016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-13787297324154119372011-05-16T20:15:00.126-04:002011-05-16T20:15:00.126-04:00Yes, I know you scrape with your knives.

Now that I know the distinction between a gallerist and an art dealer I can use the term gallerist, with confidence,when appropriate.<br /><br />AND I am just wondering ...Don't you think that the Rembrandts that were bought in his own were meant to look good on the wall of those nice little Dutch houses?Did Rembrandt call his work art or paintings?
