"Pardon me, is that decimal in the right place?!"

Today were going to talk about art!

 I really admire the "Drip" style of Jackson Pollock's work. He's a pretty iconic artist from the 50's.  The Turquoise room had been posing a problem for me... and that's 'what to put on the walls'  I like what iv got going on right now. Its border line Mod, but still Mid-century Modest (as Pam Kruber calls is)

It all started with the new and coveted Sunburst clock. Its so big it had to go on that wall and if you put anything up near it it looks but this side of the room is fine! Its the "bed" side of the room that's causing trouble...

Iv needed some 'long skinny' art to hang above the beds. Thus far i'v had NO luck until I was down town Thursday. I stopped in this new "Indie vibe" (now remember the bookends story) Art gallery  and i saw these 2 skinny "drip" like paintings with black and gold splattered in them.  I go over, look at the price tag and see $3.00 for the pair... or I thought I did... when this guy appeared form the smoke filled back room I said i'll take these and he said "wow the $300.00 dollar set is finally going to be sold."  and I was in shock... and sure enough my $3.00 was $300.00 I apologized and left feeling "Meh"  and then it dawned on me... I CAN MAKE THOSE!
I rushed home, To show you my costs I have made the "Indie Materials List"  in blue and price list in red... I got some cardboard (from the new dishwasher box) (free) and masking tape and made 2 canvases 11" x 27" and spray painted the 'reclaimed courgette packing' as the Indies would call it ($100) With flat white spray paint...

 I then took some black patio paint and mixed it in a cup with a 1/4" brush then used my "Artistic Muse" ($100) loaded the brush and "slung/ dripped" paint over the canvas until I got my desired resultnd completed my "creative vision"  ($100) a...

If one of you out there in blog land would like a "Mickey Jordan original"  ($300), send $300 dollars in a self addressed envelope to....

Haha I 'think I'm going to drip gold on mine. I think they are good as is! I'll have pictures of them hung up later this weekend but for now, I am off the the Casablanca! Have a great weekend everyone! $300 my foot....
