ART FORM?
SERIOUSLY?

I love museums - any and all that I've been too - including the Louvre and the D'orsay
and the Metropolitan. ( name dropping I know - but I am soooo lucky to have been
able to include them in my travels )
Obviously I've been getting my fixes at the wrong places.
I know art is very subjective and you either "get" it or you don't - I can honestly tell you
that I don't understand this one at all and even if I watched it nonstop for a month surrounded by
experts I would still not "get" it - but her audience does - great applause at the end. And check out her
face - very serious about her art.
Wow - " the times they are achangin "

Think I may videotape myself full of paint splatter and dance on ASCP wax
for 20 minutes and see where that takes me - but that would be a very expensive
creation - anybody want to sponsor me for the cost of 20 tins of wax ?
