challenging dubya, and really anyone, to a paint-off


ok George... looks like you have some painting talent my friend.... therefore i challenge you to a paint-off --- this is the subject: Sylvie Guillem... some parisian ballerina, apparently the greatest ballet dancer ever

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvie_Guillem

to the readership in general, i would have mentioned my buddy Adam in Spain.... he studied fine arts in madrid, spain..... 5 years of it.... now curates some gallery in chueca, madrid..... raised in melbourne, australia, parents from murcia region of spain... he told me once that when michelangelo was sculpting a knee, he would spend long weeks on end, just on that knee, just making it appear out of a block of marble....... a knee...... months and months of time......... anyway, i'll have my painting of Sylvie up by this time next year... will probably go to an art shop and everything.... stand by for that that's a picture Sylvie took of herself by the looks of it, in front of a mirror....
