not talking cistine chapel here (sp?) or the raising of Lazurus sort of thing. more simple. ceilings are pretty boring really and I have been a busy girl lately, too busy for painting. But I was gazing at the water patches on the ceiling this morning dreaming of ....... who knows what when I realised that the water patch that started out as a lemon, and turned into a lion's face was now a fully formed elephants head with a deformed dali-esque end to his trunk. I am going to commit that to oil today with my paintbox.-- po, Jan 12 2002 (?) Some more inspiration. http://www.wherethe...pants.com/Blots.htmHere are some other people's water patches... [notripe, Jan 12 2002, last modified Oct 05 2004] (?) ....erm, I think http://www.wherethe...com/ink-results.htmand here is what they painted. [notripe, Jan 12 2002, last modified Oct 05 2004] And the men in white coats will be there to commit you to a sanitarium tomorrow.-- thumbwax, Jan 12 2002 kind thought, thumb-- po, Jan 12 2002 Baked...I've seen it done before.-- StarChaser, Jan 12 2002 just read art of war and thinking of sending this to the bin-- po, Jan 12 2002 Never mind art, you could turn this into a science.-- notripe, Jan 12 2002 oye faceache, I'm not talking inkblots, the b*****y thing does look like an elephant, you saying what I think you're saying?-- po, Jan 12 2002 Dunno, what do you think I'm saying?-- notripe, Jan 13 2002 I'm not saying-- po, Jan 13 2002 From a lemon...to a lion's face...to a fully formed elephant's head.
Perhaps instead of painting, you should fix the leak.-- Guncrazy, Jan 13 2002 yep fixed, its not going to change any more-- po, Jan 14 2002 po, perhaps all you need to do is to have a very nice, museum-quality, picture frame made that you then attach to the ceiling about the stain/art. If nothing else, it will make for a great conversation piece.
PeterSealy: I love Goldsworthy's found-art works. I have a well-worn book of his photos and even though I've looked at it a million times, I never tire of how clever his stuff is.-- bristolz, Jan 14 2002 bristolz, I thought about that. bit worried about fitting it to the ceiling. major shock if it fell off and smacked me in the face in the middle of the night-- po, Jan 14 2002 Why limit it to ceilings, ever noticed how the bubbles in the washing water look just like palm trees, or the condensation on the car window resembles a dolphin pulling a strange face - all inspiration of great works of art?-- vimto, Jan 14 2002 sorry, vim but you are quite MAD, take your medication and lie down.-- po, Jan 14 2002 Why not *paint* a frame around it? also I am very envious of bristolz and deef, I love the art of Andy Goldsworthy but have never been able to afford the books of his artwork.-- madradish, Jan 15 2002 Why not *paint* a frame around it? also I am very envious of bristolz and deef, I love the art of Andy Goldsworthy but have never been able to afford the books of his artwork.-- madradish, Jan 15 2002 random, halfbakery
