My family accumulated a bunch of painting they bought from a guy outside the Piggly Wiggly grocery store in Alaska. He sold them for $5 unframed, painted on grey shirt cardboard. I thought they were cool because they were in the style of a few blobs and a wide brush give instant background then minimal strokes of a brush fill in mountains, evergreens, and other details.

When I first saw Bob Ross on TV, I immediately thought of the style of those cheap paintings. When just recently I read Ross spend a lot of time in Alaska, I had to wonder if it was him, but he didn't get there until about 1959 or '60 and some of these predate that. That makes me wonder if he learned the technique from the painter?

Nevermind, as you were.

Yah. Pull my finger

Gravdigr · 12-29-2014, 04:24 PM

Yeah, I think he was AirForce when he was in Alaska. He's said that part of his job in the AF was to yell at people, and when he got out, he said he was never going to yell/shout again, and developed that signature soft-voiced way of speaking.

Speaking of Alaska, there's an artist up there making neat pictures.

Breakfast of champions... might explain a lot of coal mine explosions back in the day.

This aggressive falcon in South Bay, Los Angeles, didn't enjoy model plane enthusiasts getting too close to her nest - taking down their gliders in mid-air.
The peregrine attacked at least two planes which fell to the ground.

I'm inclined to take the side of the Peregrine on this one.

Hey, that's Species-ist.

Pretty impressive picture though.

SAUCE

Eeew.

Every school kid got the Dust Bowl basics of how the pioneers plowed up the prairie grass, and when droughts came, the persistent wind blew away the soil.
This is why...

Surfing in style, on recycled wine bottle corks...

Is that air or resin between all those corks? If it's resin, it's an awful of of extra weight just to look cool when backlit. I'm guessing its for decoration and not use.

they're there. you just can't see them. yet.

One day, Carruthers, you'll download an app, and, if it's quiet enough, you'll hear a subtle *clink*. That'll be the cuffs snapping shut.
