Actually, I had ZERO emotion from looking at her stuff; in fact the only emotion that might have been present was a mild annoyance at losing several seconds of my life looking at what looks to me like web backgrounds.

give me a good Rembrandt any day

My sentiments EXACTLY.

And BTW, isn\'t it Monet? Or is there a Manet too? (art history isn\'t my forte\')

@DaN - Love the idea bro, but make the homeless guy (now referred to as a residence impaired individual, btw) the former Captain of the boat, and after visiting Gilligan\'s Island, the folks from Lost, Fantasy Island, passing both the Love boat and Tom hanks on a raft (and seeing Leonardo DiCaprio\'s body float by), he decided to retire to a nice quiet outhouse in the suburbs. Also give him a hook and a pegleg... and a squinky eye... oh! And a dead parrot! He\'s got to have the dead parrot!

Now thats a sure winner, with all the cheap tie-ins to pop culture. lol

Monet and Manet.

This one is wonderful:

It makes me want to stick my hand inside it and try to open it up. There\'s something Escher-like about the impossibility of it. I could quite happily sit and look at that one for ages.

i dont like art althou it is funny when i draw banksy stuff for homework and i get the teachers reaction lol

 

[DaN]

Yes there is a Monet and a Manet - who I always get mixed up

My personal favourite is Salvador Dali though - one crazy mofo!

Swans reflecting as Elephants - masterpiece.

@ DR - Bob Ross! And his huge brushes! I remember his videos from GCSE art. Classic.
