I'm not fond of portraits anyway, but I saw nothing mystical or magic about the painting.<br /><br />And thank you for your great comments on the other art. Laughing is a great way to start a day!!!!CJ Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369646691494182708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548579849622622993.post-9034194640539689802012-07-14T02:32:54.637-04:002012-07-14T02:32:54.637-04:00I totally agree, Phylis.

It's fun to look and diss it. LOL Maybe that's what some artists had in mind???CJ Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369646691494182708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548579849622622993.post-21143076970472504702012-07-13T20:28:31.122-04:002012-07-13T20:28:31.122-04:00I was a little disappointed at the Mona Lisa when ...I was a little disappointed at the Mona Lisa when I saw it. Maybe if you could actually see it outside its security glass it might impress. They talk about her enigmatic smile. In the 1960s that was called an illegal smile. She was either on dope or just had an orgasm when the original sketch was drawn.<br /><br />Whoever pays for Paris subways must have had money left over in the budget. <br /><br />The happy lobster would have looked good at an airport bus stop.<br /><br />The harbor sculpture reminds me of the peeing fountains they sell in garden shops.<br /><br />The pine cone fishing lures would go over big on Sponge Bob Square pants.<br /><br />If it were in France number 6 could be titled, guillotine art. Who should lose their head? I vote for the artist.<br /><br />If I were Tom Petty I would make them take my poster off that monstrosity.<br /><br />Number 8 looks like jumping fish if fish looked like cigar store Indians.<br /><br />The boat reminds me of Scotland's Firth of Forth where boats are on dry ground during low tide.<br /><br />Number 10 is sausage as a euphemism.<br /><br />The last one would scare me to death if the first time I saw it was on a dark foggy night. I would be looking for zombies.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308737766288257680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548579849622622993.post-53777179770119143612012-07-13T08:02:43.200-04:002012-07-13T08:02:43.200-04:00Those are quite interesting and different and stra...Those are quite interesting and different and strange! I like the last ones, even if they are outside a church. lol There is a rest stop outside of Lincoln that has some odd sculptures in it. Sometimes I think it is hard to define art. It's truly in the eye of the beholder.Phylishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08488241803600921862noreply@blogger.com
