I often thought an a true artist palette in a frame would ironically make great art itself. Here's to Impressionism, my favorite art. Your last line is my favorite!

I remember back in the 60's it seemed that every art class started (and often ended) with sketching nudes. (My roommate was an artist. Or at least thought he was. lol). Good for you, anyway. ... Not my cup of tea, either. ~ Mad Hatter

No, Gershon, never saw it I vaguely remember nude people rolling in paint on a canvas, but don’t know where that was!! I did take an art class once in FF. We had to sketch a nude man, I dropped out of the class.not into that Arg, Pangie

Heh, heh. Ever see one of those dudes dump the bucket on a canvas? I watched it at the Guggenheim Museum of Art in 1971. Then it sold for 1.25 million an hour afterward. I thought to myself, 'What is the world coming to?' That was tame back then, eh?!
