Super, Mr.Erik! You and Skip certainly know how to recycle stuff into art.
This came floating down the FaceBook River and I fished it out, dried it off and have thought a little about what McKenna said.
It's from back in the 90s, but will always be relevant.

The art of Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Hill, and Ansel Adams created the Yosemite Valley of the American imagination (paraphrased from Alfred Runte's Yosemite: The Embattled Wilderness).
Their work was used extensively by park concessionaires to promote tourism.
It was a subversion of their work, but then all were professional artists.
Therefore, not all art is our friend.
neebee, more Arnoldology for you.
Arnold is a census-designated place (CDP) in Calaveras County, California, United States. The population was 3,843 at the 2010 census, down from 4,218 at the 2000 census. Arnold is located on State Route 4.

Incomparable poster art from a bygone era used to "sell" the public on a visit to Curryland.
To be found in Yosemite: The Embattled Wilderness by Alfred Runte, one of the best books I have ever purchased (used, nearly 'fine', and only $10, reduced to $5 after credit for books brought in to re-retail).

This is from a local mason named Hansel Kern. Not too many are in his league.
Hansel and his son. Think this rock work is in Shaver somewhere.

here are two more 6 x 8' collages done by an art professor friend of mine Ann Porter. Each student is given three tiles and has to paint them after she cuts one of my into 64 pieces and gives three pieces to each student. The students don't know before hand what the picture is that they area paining. They have to work together to make the edges fit. Each tile they paint is oil on canvas in black and white. The first picture is of Jack sitting on the top of the west face of Devils Tower. The second picture is Big Horn peak cliffs reflecting and lost twin Lakes.

My son's always had the artistic touch, from a young age. Need to take some photos of his recent pottery and paintings. Only thing I could find was him playing in the sand. The turtle he'd made the day before was really cool.

I need some help here. This painting, purchased from the artist, by my wife, for what I think is quite a bit more than beer money.
She loves it so I am perfectly content but I simply don't get it. It doesn't speak to me at all.
So perhaps someone here can enlighten me.

Painting looks good to me Dan. My suggestion is to not try to see anything specific. Just be around it for awhile. You may find it grows on you. Good luck.

We finally got down to the OCMA today to see Timid Toprope's brother's exhibit!
It's VERY interesting work. The photos really cannot do it justice. Many of the details are leafs, pills, and other stuff embedded in resin on wood.

There was also a very interesting exhibit of artists inspired by the Riot Grrrl movement. As a feminist, I found much of the work very touching emotionally.
