But really, how can you not love these art re-creations?

Look at that woman!

Having her husband’s head on a platter has simply made her day worth living.

The nose is a little less spectacular, but okay.

Wow.

Im not sure which is more disturbing, the original or the remake.

Is it me…

Or does that guy look like George Harrison’s Indian guru from the 60’s?

Art imitating life, or life imitating art?

Either way…. that man is slaying it.

And now, the final picture.

Which couldn’t be any more relevant if it tried.

Still more re-creations.

I can’t help myself, so bear with me.

Never thought I’d say this, but Girl with With Pearl Earring needs a shave.

That’s mildly disturbing.

This, even more so.

His master’s voice is definitely not as poignant in the 21rst Century.

But this?

Besides wine….

The best use of grapes, ever.

Because there are more.

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!

A limited afternoon series.

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.

Where there's only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous.
