Today in India Point Park I saw a flooded field (kinda like the one in the picture only BETTER.) I just kept thinking about how badly I wanted to build a little boat out of something and do a photo shoot with it. It was a really amazing effect to have a two inch deep lake that seemed to go much deeper, along with realistically sized trees, massive in comparison. If I hadn’t already started my painting, I would have been very tempted to build a mini-boat.

After seeing Degas’ Woman in the Bath on Angela’s Blog, I was reminded of how much I love this drawing. Degas’ use of color is smart and conservative. While the human form (the woman) has the warmest colors, we also see a bit of the warmth reflected in the blue bath, and a bit of the blue from the surrounding room reflected in her back.

Timmy’s post on Adi’s post about the tallest man reminded me of this picture of a mini cowgirl and her mini cow. Mini cows actually do exist. They eat the same amount as a normal cow but produce only half the meat. I think this picture is interesting because both the cowgirl and the cow could be life sized (adult sized) but it’s all miniature.

(photo from www.pilderwasser.com/blog/?smonth=01/2008) Claire’s post about Ralph Steadman reminded me about when she trying to remember Steadman’s name and I was randomly ranting about R Crumb. Although the two artists share a somewhat common audience, Crumb’s illustrations are definitely more perverse. He is a dirty old man. Remove frame
