The Heart of the Art....

Posted by Ladianne on 9/12/2007
The Heart of the Art....

Ah, yes.  I was once asked how there could POSSIBLY be a link between climbing and fine art...and to that I have found an answer.  When, just this past Monday, I found myself with a need to climb....and simultaneously found myself at my art studio all day long, I opted to test the durability of the house in which I create my artwork.  Built in 1929, I can now say with great confidence (having traversed the opening between two of the main rooms of the house...) that the home was built quite well. 

Climbing is where you find it, friends...

That's good carpentry. I think I saw Bob Villa do that once.

I'm looking at those canvas and frames on the floor, thinking what sort of artwork is planned. Hmmmm, roll all over it with body paint on I'm thinking,,,am I correct?

No Woody, Haven't you ever seen a fine art crashpad?? *sheesh* Licentia Haud Vestigium

WEll, duuuh, it seems the 'pad isn't located under the doorway where she's climbing. So I'm all for the roll in the paint thing instead.

Those are the new Stealth rubber Crocs, the very best. I'm gonna get me a pair soon.

Stealth rubber crocs - - yes indeed. In fact, the little thingies stuck in the tops actually help me toe hook when I hang inverted from the door frame....NOT!!! ha. However, I must say that pink crocs rock!

Anonymous; don't forget to sign in, so we know who we where missing while you were "offline". Ladianne, ever think about painting the covers of crashpads. You could probably make good money just off this site.
Cheers!

My 'crashpad' is a pole vault pit and I don't tug it along on the road. Big bulls-eye on it helps me make safe landings.
