The tourist.

Before revealing what a cheapo he is, a guy at work wanted me to fashion a picture for him akin to a Japanese landscape watercolor. I felt strange about it, being a whitey and all, and I often don't like it when others do generic versions of a culture's art. So I thought back to the expressionists in the late 19th cent. and figured that if they could respectfully take it on, then I, over a hundred years later, could do the same.



Mary Cassatt
The Letter
1890-1

Definitely not typical of her work, and I love it. So purdy! I think I'll find some Japanese styled things that Van Gogh worked on. I typed "Van Gosh" on accident. Hee!
