Probably lemon.
Hey there again
Oh hey what's shakin
Not too much just painting
Oh cool, still working on the green house? Or painting for fun?
Oh no I finished that digital drawing Im painting a wedding present
Ooh pretty what is it of?
its of the portland oregon temple and their wedding flowers
Woah woah woah I'm from Portland!!! That's my temple!! Like before I moved to Arizona last year Did you do it from the reflection pool side? That's my favorite temple!!
Yeah its my favorite too I did do it from that side Yeah its so pretty
Mmmm it's so cool. At Christmas time they put nativity statues in the reflection pool it's pretty sick
Oh my goodness I want to go one day
Haha you love to see the temple. Youre going there someday. You'll probably feel the holy spirit. And listen and pray
Hahaha Nice
Hahaha do you have a favorite artist?
Music, art, or what kind of artist?
Art
James Kirk Richards And Rose Datoc Doll
Oh wow I really like greatest in the kingdom by James Kirk Richards Ok LOVE the use of color in escape by night This is so cool I love art so much
Yeah they both have such unique styles I love their work
The Portland art museum has got some really freaky stuff if you're in the mood for being uncomfortable haha
Hahahahaha I laughed out loud
Yeah they seem to have really distinct styles
"if youre in the modd for being uncomfortable" Hahaha when is that not my mood
Haha I'm always down for an uncomfy time Ok did I tell you about the teletubbie riot gear installation there?
No? But Im intrigued
Oh man ok just look up portland art museum teletubby riot gear and razor blade doughnuts its an article by the portland monthly All the deets are there I went for my 16th birthday and this was there and i kid you not it was the most uncomfortable I have ever been. Like the spirit was like screaming to leave immediately.
Oh goodness I saw a few pictures and that is all I can handle
And the room they had it in was at the end of this long hallway and you could hear all these voices and the bright lights and needless to say it was traumatizing.
I can totally see why it was traumatizing
But their baroque section is *chefs kiss* divine
I do like art though In the Museum of Art on campus they had this one crazy exhibit It was this lady who had a bunch of screens of recordings of her singing in airplane bathroom stalls And she had napkins on her head in each one That was a whole bunch of just weird nope
Hahahaha I think I saw a picture of that somehow I just don't remember where haha that's wild It's hard though because people can put significance behind anything and call it art and its difficult to distinguish between what's bull and what's art What are your thoughts on that?
That makes sense I think anything can be art, but whats good art?
Yeah like what determines what's good and what's bad?
I dont really care for the trash stuff or what people claim  as art when it doesnt take talent Like the paintings that are just empty canvas' Or they have one brush stroke across them No Absolutely not
Haha i literally saw this slab of red fiberglass at a museum once and it looked like an ikea shelf and it was just leaning up against a wall and not doing anything  thought provoking Yeah I think things have to at least require some effort to be considered good art
Yeah, It cant be just placing one object It cant be one stroke I think it needs to be over a process I think
Yeah. I was an art model last year and we were on the waterfront in portland and this drunk guy comes over while we were taking a break and he spilled his beer and he was like "see look that's art" "that dog poop over there is art" everything's art, man
Ugh those people are obnoxious
YES
There is beauty in nature and sure it is "art" but I dont think those natural things can be claimed If you improve them then sure you can claim them. Like taking a tree and making a carving out of it That is art Its kind of like the lockean ideal of property
Yeah, because, again, it required effort on your part.
Everything is in the state of nature, and until you mix it with your labor it can not be your property So in art if you just take something already produced then its not yours
That's really cool. I like that a lot.
Yeah! If you take american heritage you can learn all about it
Like, you have no right of ownership or responsibility over something unless you involve yourself. I think that applies in a lot of areas of life
Definitely It seriously applies so many places
I mean you can't really feel part of a school or organization or church unless you devote a piece of yourself to it and invest your resources, the most important one being your time
Yeah! You gotta give something to get something, Whether that is ownership or satisfaction, or reward in what ever form If only more people understood all of that instead of demanding everything to be done for them and expect it to actually happen for them I wont go on that rant thats a long emotional thing
Haha yeah. Who is the painting for?
One of my friends I met in california, she got married like a month ago but I didnt want to be that friend who never gave them anything I have a hard time buying gifts for people, I want a gift to be special. So usually I resort to making something for people when gifts are needed
Haha yeah I have a hard time giving gifts as well. Ok I'm going to go eat dinner now but good luck with that painting!
Okay Thanks It has been good chatting!
