backwoods + random rants

i've fallen in love with this painting called "backwoods". it is made by an artist called scott who i've found on myspace. this painting gives me that sense of naivety that i've started enjoying. a notion of something simple and pure and friendly. aww.


for you norwegians reading this (hei ida!!), doesn't the bottom half look an awful lot like stratos (it's a type of porous chocolate)?? or am i only seeing this because i'm trying very hard not to munch up the 150 g stratos i have in the fridge? my boyfriend has this silly idea chocolates should be eaten in tiny pieces and left in the fridge for ages, while i HAVE to munch all or nothing.

i had a sort of similar experience of associations a while ago. i was painting this green and yellowish art card based on a vintage photo..

and suddenly all it reminded me of was beer. becks beer, actually. mmmm, i love becks beer. and i was thinking, who will want this painting, it looks like a beer commercial.

here is the painting. let me know if it makes you crave(or even think of) becks beer:


.. that was a lot of babble that had nothing to do with scotts work at all.
