some context..from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ai_Weiwei In October 2010, Sunflower Seeds was installed at the Tate Modern Turbine Hall, London. The work consists of one hundred million porcelain "seeds," each individually hand-painted in the town of Jingdezhen by 1,600 Chinese artisans, and scattered over a large area of the exhibition hall.[33] The artist was keen for visitors to walk across and roll in the work to experience and contemplate the essence of his comment on mass consumption, Chinese industry, famine and collective work. However, on 16 October, Tate Modern stopped people from walking on the exhibit due to health liability concerns over the porcelain dust.[34] In February 2011, a 220-pound (100 kg) pile from Sunflower Seeds sold for $559,394 (well above its high estimate of $195,000) at Sotheby's in London.[35]
He is currently under arrest by chinese authorities for alleged 'tax evasion' .

so, some reason this fabulous piece of reality is not in showcase? everything else detailed,and fantastically tightly rendered and licked,is in showcase. Besides, it's great.

Ahaha thanks guys. Yeah I probably could have just gone b/w with it, but I get bored at work which can make me overwork things to kill time lol. My original inspiration was a multi-colored rose too, so I hadn't even considered just doing the b/w version.

Love the colors...that deep red with the sea green is so yummy. Your impressionistic brush strokes that look like watercolor are great. The shadows are gorgeous. Nice work.

I see it now!!! Can't believe I didn't recognize the sign. (attribute that to my horrid, rapidly accelerating blindness) There are a couple in Waco, I usually hit one when I'm over that way, in the Dallas/FW area, or traveling anywhere. I agree with Wraith, I'm not crazy about their coffee,...(especially since they only brew one kind now...it's all that other s^!+ they concentrate on...sugar free, fat free, latte crappe frappe with a swirl of foof or whatever that is on top....whatever happened to the dang COFFEE? It's still better than that weak bark water you get at convenience stores, so I'm thankful I can at least get a true hit of caffeine when I'm away from home. (that is when I can afford to sacrifice an arm and a leg for a cup of coffee. - hah -) Again, love the picture, it's totally cool.

davincipoppalag (May 23, 2011)

Yea.. I like plain brown coffee too.. don't like any of those fancy ass places..and the prices they charge are freakin nuts

backmagicwoman (May 23, 2011)

starbucks coffee is bitter and overcooked.

davincipoppalag (May 24, 2011)
