So I don't think I have a artistic Californian temperment: I just know artists from everywhere.

I'll see if I can scan or shoot a digital copy of some of my work when I find them. My latest failure has been above my (then fiance's) wife's couch since 1983. It would take a post longer than this to describe it, even in its unfinished glory.


That would be good, and thank you for posting that. BTW, I have no idea what a Californian temperament would be, I just guessed you don't have to deal with much rain. Or chavs. 

I completely agree that destroying any form of art because someone complains is terrible. But if the artist sees the work as temporary and permanently changing, that is another form of art in itself.

Then, we are in agreement.

(But if you think it never rains in California... well, perhaps compared to the Mother Country, you may be correct... but it rains enough that we have a lively agriculture industry.)

Could you please explain "chavs"?
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

Wikipedia can do it better than I. What they don't stress is how common they are now. Almost every town has its fair share and because we're a small country, that's a lot.

They are brilliantly represented by the Little Britain via their character Vicky Pollard. YouTube her name and you'll get the idea very quickly!

I geddit. A "chav" is a British imitation of every American teenage boy. Except they wear tracksuits rather than trousers twice too big so that they have to hold 'em up with one hand (well below their boxered butts) in order to walk.

If only that were true! We have those as well. Your average teenager is the same the world over; slouch, grunts, wears trousers two sizes too big, or even wears tighter ones but with their underwear clearly displayed. A chav is distinguished more by his or her very anti-social behaviour. It's almost as if they want to be Ali G, but fall short so take out their frustration by drinking Alcopops and breaking windows!

By co-incidence we were talking about this over dinner this evening.  Having had another look at the door, Lou has realised that the recessed panels were not as wide as she had hoped they were... her original idea was to paint figures (the angels & demons) in the recessed panels with decoration on the raised bits between the panels. However the panels are only about 12 inches wide, which is not wide enough for what she wants to do....so it's back to the drawing board!

not to mention the fact that she has GCSE exams for the next two weeks...........and these are the "important ones" for the study path she wants to follow at sixth form (i.e. Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Philosophy).

So we'll see what she comes up with once her exams are finished!

The other thing she has to research is what sort of paint to use; she hasn't thought about it much beyond the realisation that water colours may not be the best approach for exterior use! The door faces the prevailing (southern Hampshire) south-west winds, & gets the sun from mid-morning to late evening.....not to mention the attentions of the boys in the close who are under the impression that a double garage door is about the same size as a goal-mouth!    I normally wait for the third crash of football against door before going outside to be "grumpy old man"!
