Whats The Use?

They also used some of Vincent's work to make pig pens. Arrggh! One of my oldest works hides the back of the chest of drawers in my studio.

To line a bird cage ? Hey, birds need a pretty view too you know .

To be real I have an old painting that was on board that covers the crawl space under the house. This work, back in the late 80's placed first in a competition in New York.

Birds, at least hook bills love color!

A "where are they now" photo collection of art works such as your award winning piece turned crawl space cover Ronald, would be great! :)

That would be fun but it would require me to get off of my rear and move.

I've decoupaged furniture with some of my digital abstract prints, and made some lampshades from same. Those one-of-a-kind pieces sell well, and the profit is huge, compared to print sales. if I had the proper space, and a truck to haul things around in, I'd do those regularly.

A one-of-a-kind chest of drawers vs. a pigpen. Hmmmm. . . ;-)

LOL and there is the worth of our former first place winning piece. :)

Dear Ronald,

My partner once worked on an outstanding portrait for a week. It was beautiful in all regards, then suddenly without any notice he destroyed it. He told me a minute later he wanted to experience what it felt like to let it go. He said it was wonderful. He has a site here, check out his work if you like. Ben Kotyuk is his name. :-)

I repurpose al the time....makes great under painting!!

I take my work seriously.

I dont take my art all that seriously.

I will let you figure out what I mean.

Dave

like Marlene, I ''recycle". Just sand and gesso and there you have a clean slate to start over.
