Yes! Me neither. I'm relieved though. I got tired of copy/pasting "Oil on canvas".
This gal bought a used wedding gown and painted "Starry Night" on it for her prom:

That's impressive. I dunno what paints can and can't do, but apparently acrylics can do a lot. It's cool.This gal bought a used wedding gown and painted "Starry Night" on it for her prom:

They make special paints for fabric so she probably used those.That's impressive. I dunno what paints can and can't do, but apparently acrylics can do a lot. It's cool.
Beautiful job--she's very talented. I doubt she had to worry about anyone else showing up at the prom in the same dress!
Van Gogh is my favorite artist. I have had this hanging in a foyer and a bathroom....don't know where it will be hung next.
Sundrop's favorite Van Gogh (the mulberry tree) is one she saw with me at the Norton Simon museum in Pasadena.
I didn't tell her where we were going, other than to point out the building from a distance, and to say that we were going to go see some good art. She was all for that.
We got there and paid for our tickets, and I led her into the first room of the permanent collection....and watched as her eyes fell out of her head. She was looking at roughly $40 million dollars' worth of Degas bronze statues, most of them from his dancers series. And then came all the Impressionists and Expressionists on the walls, about three rooms full of the real McCoys.
It's always fun to watch someone else's reaction to really famous, recognizeable art - and when it's a surprise for them, it's even better. Good memory, that.
