I hope they burn it before the kid grows up.

Anyway at least we now know what really happened to Princess Diana. Not
dead at all, the accident was a fake, she has been wickedly cast out by
the royal family and has had to seek work as an artist's model somewhere
in the USA.

Adoption spawns bad art.  Check out the poetry page.

And note that no one has written a review of this masterpiece yet.

I know someone else who did, too, and it's not up.  For shame.  I'm sure you
recommended it to all your classy relatives at Buckingham Palace.  I'm sure
Brenda would like a print.

Every word.
He wasn't called Dickie Mountbatten for nothing, you know.
He's the reason Brenda wears a catcher's mask in bed (True rumour. Pass it on)

I just went over and looked at all the "art" selections.  I must say I've
never seen anything quite like it.  This artist has several other
offerings--all for sale.   And don't forget to look at the "poetry art."

Perhaps Barb (?) could submit one of her uterus paintings for reprint and sale?
Just to balance things out a little.

They won't buy her work for the content, it's just that it matches the
sofa.

I can't remember whether I read about this particular piece of kitsch
here or on another list I'm on.  In the hope you guys haven't yet come

Unfortunately no, Marley.  However I have told my children, if they
ever come across a plastic relief picture of the last supper (complete
with clock in the corner), it would make a fabulous gift for me.  I
saw one years ago in a cafe and have been pining for it ever since.

Julia, I do thank you for sharing the glorious black velvet art mitt Di,
Mother Theresa, Elvis and Jesus.  I am a conisseur of kitch, and this is
absolutely the strangest thing I've ever seen.  In fact, I will not rest
until I have my own copy.

I will certainly keep my eyes open for a bas relief last supper with a
clock in the corner (upper right corner?? lower left???).  With people
looking on two continents surely you will achieve your dream.

I even know where to look--there's a place in southern Virgina called
Concrete World that has the most gawdawful stuff in the universe.  And,
they do not confine themselves to concrete.

Speaking of concrete....I have nothing personal against cement porch geese.
However, the mother of a friend of mine has a large collection of goose
costumes that she makes at the senior citizen center.  There's something for
very occasion, and this is serious business for her.  About 10 years ago or
maybe longer the Dispatch did a feature story on haut couture for cement
porch geese including designer wedding gowns and spangled cocktail dresses.

Cocktail dresses and wedding gowns for yard art geese.  How absolutely
WONDERFUL.

I have nothing against yard art, except when it is overdone.  There was
one yard in Burlington North Carolina that looked like a rather batty
interfaith convention.  They had an Our Lady of the Bathtub--upend a
bathtub, bury a third of it, paint the inside blue and put a statue of the
Virgin Mary in it.  Very tasteful.  Along with the VIrgin they had a
Buddah, a Japanese lantern, figures of a woman bending over, mommy and
baby ducks and a deer statue.  Mowing that yard must have been a royal
pain.

They also had a tractor tire painted white being used as a planter for
magenta petunias.

Saw something on the TV a long while back that you'd like. Seems that
two ordinary fellows had set up a nice charity -- they went around the
country buying up bad art. They'd then run charity auctions where folks
(like you :-) would buy the bad art. What the suckers, er, buyers did
with all that bad art I don't know, but the guys did indeed donate all
the proceeds of these auctions to various charitable groups.

As you might imagine, bad art was easy to come by in their travels, but
the two fellows DID have standards:

1) no paint by number

2) no velvet

So what fun is that?  Granted there is lots of bad art on canvas or paper
(cf Barb's uterus paintings, the little kids with big eyes or anything
painted by Thomas Kinkaid ) but the epitome of bad art is black velvet,
particularly when Elvis is the subject.  Elvis mitt Jesus is even better.

I too would draw the line at paint by number.

Linda

PS  Just thought of another artist I despise, Bob Timberlake.  He may be
famous only in the south, but he is truly awful.  He makes third rate
versions of Andrew Wyeth paintings.

Could that place be anywhere near Lebanon, VA? My parents spent a rather
unusual four months there on assignment about 30 or so years ago and Mom
fondly recalls the proprietor of a place just outside the City limits...
he once told her he'd have whatever she might ever need in stock by the
following day! ...he was also proudly selling issues of Playboy right
next to the Holy Bible.  The townsfolk were so impressed with Mom and
Dad, ya see...they were driving a Caddy and the locals thought they were
filthy rich ;-)

Concrete World is outside of Lynchburg, Va, home of Jerry Falwell and
Liberty University.  Lynchburg is in south central VA, Lebanon is in
western Virginia, so it is unlikely that your parental units were near
Concrete World.

Not many, it seems, given the clearance price.

I think the having the young woman in the position of a supplicant was a nice
touch.
