ARTIST

[Nancy Carson]

An artist decided to buy a new easel. He wasn't too sure what
type to get. At the art shop they offered him two...a big one
and a small one. He pondered for a while and finally decided on
the lesser of two easels.

I heard he canvassed all the other shoppers for an opinion.

Most of them gave him the brush off, and told him to solvent himself.

This whole story just doesn't paint a very pretty picture...

Indeed. I don't find it very palatable.

The details of the original story are sketchy at best. I'm stumped,
perhaps the artist was framed?

Oh, I don't know. It just depends what frame of mind you're in.

So do we now see his true colours? Is he a model citizen, or should he
be
sentenced to life, drawing? It's never easy drawing conclusions,
especially when you can't see the full picture. What a poser...

This whole thread is leaving me with a bad impressionist. It's no
longer sketchy, but oil try to keep up with it. Isn't it enough to make
you bristle?
