Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Junk that a three year old would make.

That's not nice. It's just random azec I moved off the driveway

Ron Snyder, you are obviously a Philistine with no appreciation for Bird Dog’s subtly expressed artistic abilities.

How could you have missed the playful yet deeply meaningful juxtaposition of the angles of the triangular piece set against the oblong. It almost brought tears to my eyes. The passions evoked by this piece will hauntingly possess our senses timelessly.

Further, the piece and your comment have apparently brought out a talent I didn’t heretofore realize that I possess - slinging bullshit on the printed page in the style of a NY Times art critic.

That was a pretty good rendition of interlekchuual art critic.
Which also shows why I don't pay much attention to critics.

Expensive kindling.

It's very derivative BD. Compare Kazimir Malevich's "White on White." https://uploads4.wikiart.org/images/kazimir-malevich/white-square-1917.jpg

@ Galway Boy - Compare Dave Barry as a wine reviewer and "nuances of toast." http://jewishworldreview.com/dave/barry111306.php3

Looks like the good start on a bird house!

That's styrofoam beadboard insulation by the looks of it. I was still very moved

spray paint it with three or more colors (one should be shiny metallic accent) and then we can talk...

Haha, you got me. At first I really thought that was a modern art piece selling for $450K.

Couple of other odd works of art:

Art 1

Art 2

And right after this piece are proverbs about Wisdom. Perhaps BD is telling us something.

In 450,000 Bolivar today = $1.81 . Reasonable

I'll wait till it goes on clearance and the Venezuelan Bolivar goes in the crapper a bit farther.

I like the play of light and shadow, and the way it looks so three-dimensional.

Will you take a check?
