is experience really everything?

i love this one. it's like a big "nyahh nyahh" (tongue exposed) to all those hyper-academic pretentious artist types.
the following is a brilliant painting. (frankly, i wish i had done it):

"Asian Sun" by Marla Olmstead. (acrylic on canvas)

her name is Marla Olmstead. she's a new artist who works out of a studio in Binghampton, NY. a year ago her paintings went for $250 now it's $6000. i don't usually get this excited by new visonaries on the contemporary art scene but Marla Olmstead is 4 years old. (when somebody takes more interest in bouncing a superball or eating a bowl of cereal than whether or not they're stuff is hanging in a gallery, take notice. they're the ones who have the healthier perspective of the world). frankly she puts most of us to shame. read the article here.(you'll have to sign up for nytimes.com but it's free.)

here's what i was doing at age 4:
"Eye Creature with Electrical Atennae"
(crayon on vintage Manila drawing paper)

i'd be willing to pretend i'm in kindergarten again if an agent is interested.
