Ya know, it has a sneaky resemblance to the contract in "50 Shades of Gray." Just a thought....

Sounds like a bot.

I suspect not actually written by a lawyer, as the similarity to common contracts I'm aware of is incomplete. In other words, sounds like an artist went to AI or online examples and cherrypicked clauses. I'm not an attorney, however, and cannot render a legal opinion, just an observation from...

Great idea. Should be some kind of "sticky" post in the forum.

Guess the trend market got bored with his bored ape. Would be a welcome reckoning if that happened to all NFTs. It's a ridiculous trend that IMHO devalues serious art. I don't meant to imply that memes are useless. They do entertain and sometimes they even make us think, same as cartoons, comic...

Bongo, I'm not a fan of the school aspect unless they enlarge the student population. The $400K was probably a misprint or an editor missed it, more like $40K. Regardless, my point is that there are unused facilities all over the US in urban and rural areas that would be suitable for artist...

This is desperately needed everywhere, and there are abandoned useful structures in so many places that could be converted if anyone took the time and the resources: Art+Water space

Thanks, Terri & Balaji. The actual painting is a bit brighter than you see here.

I think what you're responding to is a common optical illusion. How the brain interprets light and shadow and translates it into a 3D model. Nothing wrong with that photo that I can see, and it's a nice WC besides.

You scared me with the post title. I was afraid you were going to stop sketching for a while. Truly enjoy all your work!

I'm sure this is a good omen for all of us minnows.... NOT! https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/arts/global-market-art-basel-ubs-report.html

Working in various water media I am also amazed that dirty water doesn't automatically translate into muddy or neutral colors. But up to a point it doesn't seem to. After a point it does. I find that worse in acrylics than watercolors.

Really good as is, Donna. Nice work. I like that orange flash against the blue monochromatic field and clouds. You've captured a feeling, a mood, and a sense of place. Be very happy with this one.
