Driven Painter Gifts

"Being happy with one's work is the kiss of death."

The Art Student.

Lady using paint roller as rolling pin for baking dough.

Jack of all trades

'On your mark. Get set. Create!'

"I spilled a red dot of paint, so I painted the whole room so you wouldn't notice it."

'It's called 'Oh Bugger It!' if you must know!'

The Artist

Wolf Danny With "Random""The work must be tantamount to mayhem. Making an insatiable public confused, indifferent, annoyed—this is the premise on which rests my deliberately vacuous oeuvre."

The DaVinci Code

"Abstract Expressionism is definitely right for me at this stage of my career."

'I'm in my Blue period.'

Painting by the numbers for adults

'The way the eyes follow you is uncanny.'

'These elves sure are helpful around the house.'

"Yes, it's oil-paint: It's difficult to find water for watercolours around here..."

'It's my homage to Picasso.' (Snowman is all mixed up with eyes and nose in odd places)

Painting clouds

(Camel paintings)

"It's a postmodern mosaic, almost lyrical in its undercurrent." "My five-year-old will be happy to hear that."

Use your imagination.

"I would like a tube of lemon yellow, cadmium red, cobalt blue, ivory, black, and zinc white, a sixteen-by-twenty canvas, a couple of brushes, and that book 'Painting in Oils'."

Distractions Of The Great

Unfinished painting of a monster in a lake sits beside the lake with no painter in sight

'It's one of Larry King's earliest shows.'

Wood Stain and Sun Tan Lotion

Horti-Culture

Painting the Ceiling

"No, ma'am. I'm not sure what the difference is between being creative or just plain weird."

'No, Mr. Simmons, your MR images aren't in yet. We have older equipment, which takes a little longer to process.'

'Frankly, I think watching paint dry has been given a bad press.'

'And just what makes you think I don't know what I'm doing?!!'

"I think I perferred the plain magnolia"

"I'm the only sane artist in the world."

Mr. Empirical With "Antarctica""Small is hostile. Rage contributes to shift away from literality. I'm off to True Value Hardware for some more self-reference tools."
