Rather Large Shoop with an Intrusive Nail:

Acrylic, Water Color, and Graphite on Canvas Board

Finally! Artwork for the masses. Its a little blurry and too bright (darn you flash!), but otherwise a good picture despite its size. I often don't explain my artwork, because half the time I don't know what it means. Usually I get a picture in my head of something and just go for it and see how it evolves from there. Generally in my mind it is perfect and when I go to put it on paper/canvas the end result isn't at all what is in my head (hence the aforemention frustration and disgust with art . . . somewhere along the line I became a perfectionist). As to taking the picture, I didn't get a digital camera, but found Jeremy and Jerome's camera that still had film in it (oh yea!). I then of course took about an hour practicing my photography skills in the house (I called it Chronicling Our time on 8th), but all the pictures came out to be crap (as usual, I hate cameras, I want a digi-cam so what I see in the view screen is what I get. Hopefullly). I found this out relatively quickly, because I biked to Wal-Mart for one hour photo and finished reading the Princess Bride while I waited.


Enjoy It I only have a few art pictures!

I think you mean "S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure" not "The Princess Bride". geesh.

(And yes, it is I, Arthur Dent. Bravo, good-yet-a-wee-bit-slow-man.)

I did indeed, but the use of the American "the Princess Bride" is for the layman (uneducated slough)who aren't familiar with Florinese literature or Morgenstern himself. (Most people don't even realize that Florin Exists!)

(Slow, but not stupid.)

Luv,
Clay
