OH, YAH, ART.

Art! Yeah! It's great! Even at 3am! When I can't sleep! And all I want to do is sleep! But, hey, I'll blog instead!
Here's some art from the DAM...
What in the shit was that, you say??  Theodore Waddell's work never looks good to me at first.  He uses thick globs of paint and blurry, misshapen images.  His work is most definitely not conventionally pretty, but I do find it striking.  I'm initially taken aback by the sloppy paint job and almost feel affronted by his execution.  How dare you call that art, you lazy amateur!!  His work makes me pause, however, to take a closer look. I think back to my painting teacher's advice to squint a bit and as it turns out, Waddell is right on the money.
Another. Squint and notice the position of the horse. Each goop is intentional and necessary.
Eva's favorite.  I'll get a better picture sometime.
Wicked headdress, bro!
Favorite of the day.
