Willing to negotiate prices

By -
You've had those times where you see a piece of "art" and think to yourself, "Wow... they got paid for that painting.  Wow.  Some moron paid for that painting.  I could do that -- when I was five."

Katie and I decided to try watching Survivor on TV last night for the first time.  As it turns out, a basketball game was on instead, so as we 
finished eating our salad on the couch, we had a brilliant idea -- make paintings of our own.

With only minutes of premeditation and preparation, we were out of the door.  Our first stop was DI to pick up frames.  Our second stop was across the street to RiteAid to pick up paint and brushes and two delicious cadbury cream/caramel eggs. 

The medium:  An old t-shirt of mine that was dedicated to rags.
The inspiration:  Probably the salad we ate.
The goal:  Get someone (who doesn't know better) to compliment us on our artwork selection when they walk into our apartment.















I think the red symbol either means "Courage," "Harmony," or "Indigestion."

Submit them to a gallery. Did you sign them? Be sure to sign them. You could be famous some day.

So, are you going to hang them up, sell them for huge money on E-bay, or store them under your bed?

Talk about HIDDEN talents!
Katie, you could replace Vanna on "The Price is right!"

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
