I'M JUST CRAZY FOR JACKSON!

Here are a few digital paintings I made on the iPad using the Jackson Pollock painting application.  What a fun way to drip and fling paint!  Once you get a spatter pattern you like, you save the image to the photo gallery and then you can open it in another app program and add controlled lines and other elements.  I think these would be fun to print as cards.  Looks like a party going on!!!

"WHO THE #$&% IS JACKSON POLLOCK?"

I was at the library today and found this gem of a documentary movie in the art book section. After a little research on the internet I discovered it was filmed in 2006 and came out, I think, in 2007. If you haven't seen it, find a copy to view. This is a wonderful true story of a woman (Teri Horton) who finds a painting in a thrift store, pays $5 for it and then is told it might be by Jackson Pollock...who, of course, she has never heard of...hence the title of the movie. I don't want to give too much away but Teri is a 72 year old ex trucker. She is tiny but tough out spoken. The story is about painting, painting "experts", authentification processes, class distinctions and assumptions, snobbery of the first order, yada, yada, yada. There are so many issues dealing with art and the the art world that it boggles the mind. I rooting for Teri!
