When I find myself nagging my kid about homework on spring break while she's slathering a ton of oil paint onto a canvas, not really sure what she's going to make, I try to shut up and remember WWSD.
What would Serena do?
She'd say, "Go! Make art now!"
OK, I stroked my inner Picasso when I should have been exploring museums with grandma and the bad attitude teenager.

yes, these are way more fun than work. even way more fun than planning museum vacations!
Andria, I might just have to share these with my mom (the former art teacher), show her what she can do with her new digital tools. :-)
the polaroidizer link wasn't working. know where I might actually find it?
The address is right for the Polaroidinizer. It seems to have become a victim of its own popularity. The entire site is giving a not responding error, so the php pages are going 404. My dog photo was done using the hockney-izer at bighugelabs.com/flickr/hockney.php
For those who don't 'get' the title, it's a reference to the collage photos of British artist, David Hockney www.hockneypictures.com/photos/photos_collages.htm
Wonderful Hockney link, sent to daughter immediately.
The possibility of painting on b&w photos soon like this is a great carrot dangled to get through AP/IB exams...
the picture on the lower right looks like my carpet after the dog has gotten up, gotta vacuum up all those shedded hairs.
