Sally has gone horseback riding. Discuss.
Can't imagine why I have this on the brain.
Oh my!! ... and what a lovely pair they make!!
M.J.
ooooo sparklies!
if she has wings, why does she need to ride a horse?
is sally going to ride a long horse?
http://www.digital-art.org/D/Portraits/Burmeier/BurmeierFrames.html
Excellent questions! Both of them!
I've always wondered about the need for a horse when the wings should really take one wherever one needs to go. (short or long ~ I remember seeing old photos of Dukhabor Long Horses)
Impossible to believe that they would just be decorative.
So - does sally sit side saddle?
gah. why did that put my last name in? silly autocomplete stuff.
How come Gumby never rode Pokey? What the hell was going on there, anyway? (my guess is that Gumby would leave chunks of his green thighs embedded in Pokey's orange back if it were ever attempted)
Once again, those are most excellent questions!
People are taking me to task for misusing bling bling. Is now the time?
Good question!
Actually, Gumby rode Pokey in episode #666. They had to make time in an epic quest for Arts Funding...

I love epic quests, but I'm never sure what to wear.
MJean, misusing bling bling? but that is what it is for I thought. I dunno if it can be used.
well maybe to buy babies from desperate women who leave them on neighbour's porches in fear of the reaction of the tribe.
That poor little soul, I bet she would have left her gold necklace, to make it not have happened, or to buy parenting for the child
My goodness that is a long horse. Up until now I have always thought that grownup women looked silly wearing wings. All this bling is super fantastic! (Of course I can ride side saddle, and I can drink tea with cup and saucer at the same. But I just chooose not to because I think horses are undignified.)
as pop freudian fodder, that 'epic quest' image is a riot. is it from a video game?
Horses undignifed? Not the Hanlan's point diving horse:

those diving horses are kind of freudian too.
Finally, an excuse to post this.

Not that there is anything questionable about it in any way.
We won't speculate where the creature's genitalia are located.
And it would be so impolite to ask.
I a-speculatin' anyhow. For one thing, how is she staying on there? looks dangerous for everybody. I figure he's got himself a convenient centaur brand strap-on. and I bet the girl centaurs are kind of ticked off about all this.
This recent photograph of a centaur (with unidentified cranky female companion) supports your conjecture.
....sigh, my mom always wanted me to paint god.

I'm sorry to interject here and perhaps distract your readers from the rivetting conundrum of genital-less centaurs and their babes but, speaking art historically now, one shouldn't ignore the kinder, gentler, de-sexualized, perhaps more tasteful bling-bling effects of Thomas Kinkade, "Painter of Light". Take for example, masterpieces of subtle yet sweet, scintillating sparkliness like, "Sunset on Lamplight Lane" (18" x 27" - 24" x 36" - 28" x 42" - 40" x 60") or the unparallelled blinginess of "The Heart of San Francisco" (18" x 24" - 25 1/2" x 34" - 30" x 40" - 40" x 60" ), availble on canvas. OK, L.M., back to the centaurs.
Funny you should mention that. L.M. did treat us to some fine and sparkly Kincaid posts last year. here, here, here and here.
This one's for you V.I.!
Holy shit, literally, I just looked at mnobody's video link.
God sure knows how to make money at art!
Sally: thanks for setting me straight on my regressive post - i.e, I should have known that L.M. had already examined Mr. Kinkade's aesthetics of sparkliness not once but thrice and, L.M., I am humbled by your vast archive of profound images.
Never did I suspect that the conceptual genius of Kinkade had taken him this far. Are there no limits to Kinkade's gentle mastery? I can see from your post on his problems with urinating on pop culture icons that he has the necessary instablility to let us forgive him for anything that he produces.
Sorry, back to the ball-less centaurs.
That is stunning! My favourite line: "Her mother, remarkably, was an atheist."
the best kinkade painting (and i am not even sure i am being ironic) is the work he did for the 50th Aniversary of Disneyland, the colliding of two giants of Americana is cosmic in its reach:
http://www.artofthesouth.com/search/images/art/disney50th.jpg
also his jesus collectables make me want to give up my searching, angular catholicism, and become what ever the fuck he is:
http://ak.collectiblestoday.com/images/pdtl-1400229001.jpg
Give up the searching. For a small price all can be found.
Hold on to your hats. This is important. Does anyone else see the resemblance between Kinkade's 15" high tree and Tatlin's Monument to the Third International?
Gasp. Kinkade and Tatlin. One revolutionary Giant of the 21st Century making a subtle hommage to another revolutionary Giant of the 20th Century. I have to sit down and think about the implications for art history here.
L.M. or Sally, would you mind posting a Tatlin Monument from your vast archive? Otherwise people will think I'm nuts.
You're right. Total homage.
Or else a major gloat on the west's absolute victory over the eastern bloc.
L.M., no. That's hard to accept. Kinkade has exhibited not the tiniest shred of irony over his long career. Besides, isn't one of the Ten Commandments, thou shalt not gloat?
lest anyone forget "diapercakes"
yeah Bill, I thought it was the Tower of Babel too
yay! two of my favourite stacks. About a hundred years ago Lola mag published a "Brief History of Piles" in art by Dave Dyment. I'm partial to Gerald Ferguson's "One Million Pennies," (although I'm 100% not keen on his continued use of stencils to make some kind of painting-is-dead-but-I'm-still-painting point).
this just in from V.I.
Gerald Ferguson's Twelve Drain Covers, 2006 look like those fancy toaster waffles, not the eggos, but the other ones.
This just in from V.I...
I suspect "the painter of light" has fallen on hard times and has stooped to doing architectural renderings for real estate developers. Either that or he's discovered modern architecture. Yikes! From today's Globe & Mail newspaper - real estate section.
