Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for March 21, 2023

A true artist!

The bird made a improvement on the painting. Everybody likes it.

The bird’s a critic.

That white splotch certainly looks three dimensional, eh?

A work in progress.

looks like crap if you ask me

exactly, bird cage paper, no idea what they fed the bird.

Ah. We’ve finally reached the “Modern Art” section.

“Bluebird of Happiness”

“I sense great vulnerability. A man-child crying out for love. An innocent orphan in the post-modern world.”

“I see a parasite. A sexually depraved miscreant who is seeking only to gratify his basest and most immediate urges.”

“His struggle is man’s struggle. He lifts my spirit.”

“He is a loathsome, offensive brute. Yet I can’t look away.”

“He transcends time and space.”

“He sickens me.”

“I love it.”

“Me too.”

My DIL decorates with paintings like that, but I wonder if some of them have been hung upside-down.

Foo bird. If the Foo sh*ts, wear it.

Took me a minute…

Interactive multimedia performance art

I went to the fanciest art museum in this city. They had this special area dedicated to top, well known “artists”. I went to see the Picasso and a few other paintings by famous dead painters. In the same gallery was a 3’ X 5’ canvas that was all black except a 8" red circle in the middle. Some fancy-dressed man walked up to us and asked what we thought of it. I said it was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in a museum. I’ve been to famous museums in Europe. I stood five feet away from the Mona Lisa. He looked so heartbroken.

This is a new version of Dadaism called Doo-Dooism.

Banksy making yet another commentary about the modern art market?

An original “art piece” by Plop Plop the tweetie bird!

Blue bellied sapsucking warbler?

Is the bird’s name Pollack ?

“I may not know much about birds, but I know what I like.”

I call this one “My Freshly Washed Car”

Everybody’s a critic.

He gave it a certain direction.

Definitely improved the painting….

Ah. The depth, the depravity, the realism. I don’t like it.

Don’t look up..

The picture showed HUGE on my computer monitor and I didn’t see the bird at first ;-)
