Last night I caught the episode where TWANS revealed her artwork to the
world. Surprisingly, I thought it was pleasant to look at, like folk art
or outsider art. Theoretically speaking, I guess it *is* outsider art! ;-D

My 10-year old niece does better artwork than that. Hell, my 2-year old
nephew does too...

Yes, but that's not a fair comparison. They have the intellectual advantage
over TWANS.

The point I was making is that it's pleasant to look at, just like little
kids paintings or outsider art.

I was dissing you (as the kids like to say), but Anna's talent, or lack
thereof. It seems like E! is purposely going out of their way to show that
she has no discernable talent. So far on her show this season, she took an
acting class with Danny Bonaduce, tried interior decorating, etc. and either
did a poor job or passed with ridiculous results.

I didn't see the show from the beginning, but I did get the impression that
Anna was extremely reluctant to let her art work go public. People were
snapping it up too, and it was for charity.

I dunno, knowing kid's art was made by kids makes it pleasant to look at.
Knowing this kid's art made by ANS doesn't. JMO, of course.

I've always liked naive or folk or "outsider" art, so I guess that is why I
like it!

I really love the baby painting! It's cool...I put it on my desktop. On
the show, there was a monkey eating a banana that was really nice too and a
vase of pink flowers that was well done. Other than that, they're chidlish
lol...even Anna herself said so.

I've only seen her show twice and tuned in for this one.
I felt really sorry for her when she was at the art gallery (or
Michael's Crafts, it seemed) to get frames for her paintings. The lady
who was behind the counter was a real bitch, but did it with a
solicitous facade.

She took her in the back room and demonstrated how the framed pieces
would look with the "right lighting". On the walls, were Real Art.
Beautiful oil paintings created by talented, educated artists. And the
woman went into a big show of positioning her paint-by-numbers
creation in the middle of them. You could tell it really humbled
TWANS.

It was a "Pretty-in-Pink-Andie-in-the-Boutique" kinda moment. As
stupid as it sounds, it hurt me for her. She's a dunce, but she's
harmless.

Art is subjective....I don't care for modernists or impressionists....if
those same paintings had some French guy's name on them...they'd be selling
for mega bucks.

Look at Jackson Pollard's work...I think Anna's stuff is more focused and
thoughtful

Anna Nicole's not a dunce, just a very simple country girl who wound up
getting famous. I think it's great she has a nice hobby like painting.
By the end of the show Anna seemed to be happy with the warm reception
her art got with the audience.

I'm glad. Her paintings are not half bad. I liked the one with the flowers
in the vase.
And the ones with the seagulls. It looks primitive. It looks childish.
But they're pleasant
to the eye and that's all that matters to me.

Anna Nicole's life is a mess, but she's harmless. I don't think she's
unkind either. Just a mess.
