- You win a painting of a submerged pickup truck -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 18:57 5
  - you are such a jerkface. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 18:59 4
    - *I'm* the one who said it looked like that and *he* gets the "jerkface" label? -- nm - TWuG Jul 18, 19:09 3
      - you were forgiven due to your subsequent flattering comments. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:10 2
        
        and what, you *want* to be called a jerkface? -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:10 1
        
        If you're going to blame, lay it where it belongs is all I'm saying. :-) -- nm - TWuG Jul 18, 19:16

- Winner!!! - loosilu Jul 18, 18:45 8
  - Don Homer!! That's wonderful! -- nm - mara Jul 18, 19:14 1
    - I was stunned, truly. I expected half that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:16
  - Awesome! I think you should maybe find yourself a gallery and try to turn painting into a living. - TWuG Jul 18, 18:49 5
    - there's a lot I need to learn about selling. it is my calling, for sure. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 18:51 4
      - That's why you find a gallery. They act as an agent and handle the business while you handle the creation. - TWuG Jul 18, 18:52 3
        
        oh, I know. I need to learn how to deal with galleries. there's a class at my local art league about going pro. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 18:53 2
        
        Go pro! You have the time. Do it tomorrow. Make this happen. - TWuG Jul 18, 18:55 1
        
        I know I'm good enough, actually. Have been to numerous shows where I was better than the artist showing. - loosilu Jul 18, 18:56
and here is B. You can guess one number since they both sold for the same price. -- (link) - loosilu Jul 18, 18:42 [flickr] 12
- That's cool. Where'd you find a pick-up truck sunk up to it's hood? - TWuG Jul 18, 18:43 11
  - Because that's what it is? -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 18:45 10
    - kid, your face is a sunked pickup truck. - loosilu Jul 18, 18:47 9
      - I didn't see what it really was until I read the description. It's one of those pics where you see two things depending on what your mind picks out. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 18:48 8
        
        I can't see it as a pickup even if I try to. -- nm - mara Jul 18, 19:23 1
        
        *thank* you. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:36
        
        The auction was held at a building literally right next to that bridge, so I'm guessing the bidders saw the bridge. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 18:49 5
        
        Also - it's a charity auction. - kelly Jul 18, 18:53 4
        
        that is true, believe me I know. But I'm also a no name. If I were a name artist it would have gone far higher. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 18:55 3
        
        I think it's an impressive number, and they're both very nice paintings. Good work :) - Beryllium Jul 18, 19:04 2
        
        I think if you folks saw it in real life you wouldn't see "truck". The photo messes things up a bit. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:07 1
        
        Oh, agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 19:26
painting A is here. -- (link) - loosilu Jul 18, 18:41 [flickr]
$135 and $98 -- nm - TWuG Jul 18, 18:41
