My Art

I went to an art gallery the other day. Now, I love art as much as the next lughead, but…hmmm…yeah. This stuff was…well, yeah.

It does seem that just about anyone can create “modern art” these days. The irony is that my home is full of it — but, in my defense, it’s for color. (No, I’m not gay…sailor.)

May Picasso forever lament he never knew the name…Benson!

I’d pay good money to hear his reply — especially given that he’s dead.

I leave you with the immortal words of Val Kilmer from the film, Tombstone: “…draw.” {10}
