Oops

So this is supposed to be an Art blog, which is not what I've been doing(sorry Joe).  So I'll write about art now.  but whats the difference?  good art should reflect reality, show the world through your own rose colored glasses.  but there is a fine line as well, you can make something that is just crap.  there is a trend in art to accept everything as art when sometimes it's just crap.  even if it's a critique on society soup cans are soup cans.  four different colors of Marilyn Monroe is just lazy, not an opinion on pop culture. 
it has nothing on great art, Picasso, Leonardo, whistler, there were people who saw their environment and tried to interpret it through their medium.  and then there are people who get all drugged up and think that they get inspired, when really they are drugged up and thats what drugs do.  I've seen some twisted shit in Anderson that can only be a creation of someone with a headfull of narcotics, or some deep seeded personal issues (not mutually exclusive). 
I feel that good art captures something intangible, a fleeting moment or feeling that is expressed visually
