When I worked nights, I used to chat with a guy that worked the night shift at a Kinko's in the Midwest. Once he sent me a picture some people brought in of a field through very tall grass. They were getting prints made. It looked ok - nothing wonderful - but not bad either - good color choices, interesting brush strokes - just gave the impression of walking through a field with grass up to your head. Then he told me it was painted by a cat.

I do agree to some extent, and sometimes when I'm low, I like to look at the art of little kids or the people who draw like children...mostly because it reminds me of when I was young, and the art is so simplistic and sort of..well, free. Like "straight from the head to the paper" without bullshit in account like technique and composition and technical jargon that pulls true art apart at the seams. I like big heads with no eyes and ear to ear grins (especially when the ears are on top of the head), no neck or torso and loooong legs. I don't know why, but when I'm at my lowest the art of little kids brings me up. Makes me feel less like the sourpuss and oversarcastic angry person I can be...makes me want to be the little girl in the picture of the sandpile in our backyard with mudpie on my face and a pink t-shirt that says "i'm a buckley babe"....and a grin from ear to ear, sand in my babyteeth and and chubby cheeks and curly blond hair.
Sometimes though, it makes me very very sad that I can never be that again.
