There's something about smashing icicles that's just plain fun! SMASH!
Well that broke the ice...
Paints right handed, bats left handed. Cool.
BTW, forecast calls for snow tonight in the north east.
I see you are doing research again.
Good clean fun! ...And the mess just melts away... :)
You don't like ice do you?
Larry got to my comment before me: paints right, bats left. I do too. The main time being mildly ambidextrous meant anything was during my three summer career as a house painter. I could park the ladder in the center of the windowsill and paint the trim on either side of the window without moving the ladder.
Hi James. Ever think of posting a post on discipline? As a career artist, I still find it difficult to motivate myself. Love your work, and does smashing icicles help kill the February blues?
HAHAHA! Very awesome. I like your take on beating old man winter. A baseball bat.
At first I thought this was maybe reference for a painting of exploding ice..but no.
