It’s not papier-mache fashioned by rats in the night, but close. Does anybody want this mildly emberassing and textural piece of student awt before my name gets x-ed off the back and I give it to Goodwill tomorrow?

gen-yoo-wine oil paints!
It’s very dramatic, and made of real paint! Over the course of two agitated nights! Now you see why I decided painting wasn’t fer me!
Oooh, Ooh, I'll take it! I
Oooh, Ooh, I’ll take it! I will give it a good home! Those flames are really nice! And the fish is nice too!
feel free...
….to cut it up and save the parts you like! I thought about it, believe me…..
Dang... I like it, too. (any

(any thoughts on X-mas card themes there, Dingy?)
thanks for the reminder!
Tell me again…is it a single panel, or does it stand up like a folded card, so it would need two panels? And approximate dimensions? 4x6, right? I will get to brainstorming….
Card me, mama.
Dinglage,
The card is approximately 4’ x 6’. I’m thinking a two panel cartoon. First panel sets up the scene, second panel delivers a wacky X-Mas joke. Or just one panel with a witty holiday aphorism. I’ll paint it white this weekend. I will be your artistic flunky… you know, clean your brushes, wipe your brow, bring you tankards of rum.
I also understand if it would not be your cup of tea, too. We still have one side with an handsome design.
I like it
I like it,
it shows man’s inner burning to have dominion over fish … at least it does to me. If Nancy did not want it, I would give it a home in the practice room of my barn next to my latch-hook rug wall hanging of a sailboat, sunset and couple on the beach. and my guitar shaped decoupaged Elvis clock.
It is amazing how much it
It is amazing how much it looks like a woodcut… a pivotal piece… cannot be cut up.
angsty, etc.
Oooh, yeah. Burning! I was tormented by various things at the time. No, seriously, there was some heavy shit going on that particular semester, not just the typical self-involved drama that I used to manufacture to give myself reasons to brood artistically. For better or worse, I took both and extremely literal and randomly obtuse approach to expressing it. It’s…I’m trying to remember. I had done a painting of a burning person before, but that seemed to much like a destroying deluge, whereas i was realizing that hard, shitty times can sometimes be transformative and bring about a more structurally sound and fierce character. I can’t remember what the fish was supposed to be. A not-yet-fully-attained future of cool implacability for the ember man?
Oh, and, mister jass
I will brainstorm, and either shizz or get off the pot by Friday, how ‘bout that? If I don’t come up with anything, I’ll let you know by then. Otherwise, I’ll put together some l il’ drawings and get out the ol’ graph paper for resizing. Because I’m troglodytic like that.

We'd take it, if it weren't claimed.
People have been giving us bad art, mainly of kitties. This would be a nice addition to break up the kitch. In the kitchen.
i can imagine finding this in Goodwill, thinking, Who?! What!? Oh, the tormented soul.
I think it is a fine blend of
I think it is a fine blend of the literal and randomly obtuse. A perfect representation of painting as the most interesting and mysterious of all art forms. How did she do it? What does it mean? Clara said, “It only took her two days to do that?! It would have taken me a year!”
