Tempest, Sadly, you have a point. My sister and I absolutely hate modern 'art'. However, large corporations like IBM won't buy anything but abstracts for fear of litigation over discrimination. Heaven forbid that they put up a nice oil of an indian boy on a horse and leave out everyone else. With this crap, there's few to offend. Check out her work at the link above. Maybe I should name it, "Alien Hatching" and it would sell for 20,000 each?jval posted Mon, 18 June 2001 at 9:23 PM
I like a lot of modern art. I hate a lot of modern art. But I suspect it is much easier to create rubbish and sneak it through if you call it modern. I took a look at your sister's site and really! Wild White Mare? What about all the non-whites? Is she saying that all whites are necessarily wild? And what about... I think maybe she should have given the horse a coat consisting of multicoloured polka dots and then she would have been safe . Not quite my style but must admit it's rather nice work.

See? There's one in every crowd. LOL. Glad you like her work, she spends a lot of time at it. Now to get my brother to let me post his stuff. He's by far the best in the family but he doesn't want it posted. I have a picture of one of his oils that looks incredible but seems to have a lot of oil on the canvas. I asked why. He said he did it with ONLY a palate knife, no brush. That blew my mind. Family has landed on hard times. Sister did a bronze fighting horse that's 18 inches high, best I've seen. First cast was to a friend to pay for the years of feed boarding her horse, second was to a doctor to pay for the cost of the foundary. Foundary burned down and that was the end of it. Brother lost 85% of his work in a storage fire cuz the guy next to the building lit it on fire welding a volkswagen transmission. I wish I had half their talent. Those two are very good at what they do when they want. Brother is PhD engineer, lotsa patents, and considers art a hobby. Sister wants art to be a profession but won't compromise to commercial or modern art so she's a hotel desk receptionist. I haven't grown up yet so I don't know what I want to be. (I'm 41 :) and like being a kid, but work my first 8-5 ever. .. senior associate at a law firm.) You know, artists are not appreciated until they are dead and someone finds the stash. But that's life. Bring a little sunshine to folks and onward ho.
