And I simply have to.
Re-created art…. part whatever.
Do you have too much quarantine time on your hands?
Do you need to keep the kids entertained?
Maybe you just want to see your husband use the vacuum cleaner.
Whatever the reason…..
Please.
Re-create some art because I’m loving them!
I’m beginning to think Direct TV is screwing with me.
They know I’m stuck at home and subject to my husband’s absolute control over the remote during the quarantine.
The reason I know this?
All the quality programming they’re providing.
Last weekend?
It was Robbie the Robot in Forbidden Planet.
A classic the husband just had to watch.
Lucky me.
Have you hugged your robot today?
Here are the last 3 examples I’ll gleefully share with childlike enthusiasm bore you with.
The original…
The re-creation…
I’m going to go out on a limb and say this fellow might have enjoyed the exercise a little too much.
The original….
The re-creation…
Proof positive modern life is lame.
And because this one literally made me snort, I saved it for last.
The original…
The re-creation…
Hope you enjoyed these as much as I did.
Because we all need a little more laughter these days.
A few more clever examples.
American Gothic anyone…?
Madonna and Child.
Well, not quite.
And if modern art is your thing?
Then here….
Best use of Kraft American cheese….. ever.
For the next few afternoons I’m going to be my usual helpful self and give you something to do while you’re quarantining yourself at home like a good viral citizen.
Lately the net has been filled with clever and creative ways to occupy your time…. but I’m going to share one from the Getty Museum that really made me smile.
Since visits to their museum have been cancelled for the near future, they challenged their members to re-create their favorite works of art.
Here are some of my favorites:
The original…
The re-creation….
Kudos to this couple.
I don’t know what the hell he put on his head, but damn.
It works.
The original…
The re-creation….
I’m not sure Dali would approve, but I’ll give them an A for effort.
And finally, here’s one that’s better seen by side.
Brilliant, I tell you!
Simply brilliant.
Tiptoeing around the house quietly while the husband is teleworking is not my forte, so I tried to find something sedentary and silent to do as not to disturb his process.
Yesterday this involved scrolling through a news feed on my phone.
Sick to death (no pun intended!) of the current global health crisis, I found myself reading an article called “Jason Bateman deserves to be taken seriously.”
Yes.
This is how far I’ve fallen.
And because I realize there might be a few other desperate house bound tiptoers out there?
Feel free to melt your brain as well.
The grass really is greener….
Over the septic tank.
P.S…. my mobile’s spellcheck changed ‘Bombeck’ to ‘nomenclature’ when I was typing tags.
That’s not even close!
But damn.
I hope so too!
Well, if you live in Maine….
You have a snow sculpture contest!
That strange looking blob turned into this:
A goldfinch on a nest.
It gets my vote….
But here are some other entries.
Small snowman.
Snow frog.
Large snowman.
Musical snowman.
Upside down snowman.
Snow horse.
Snow bunny.
Snow pig?
Snow mermaid.
And a snow public health advisement…
Someone posted this as well …..
I love it, but have a feeling it was pulled off the net and not a local entry.
A+ for originality though.
Cheers!
Since we’re all staying home and social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of virus, we’re going to have a lot of time on our hands.
We can blog.
Or Read.
Or binge watch our favorite trashy Netflix series.
But for the crafty and artistic few among us?
Please feel free to steal this idea.
Just be sure to post your versions when you do.
The rest of us are still bored.
