April 1, 2020 "Wow , automatic art got such a nice response I'm  looking forward to seeing more art on  pleinrein2020.blogspot.com .   That's  too much Pollicking , it's not to soon to stretch  in a much  more interesting direction.   New York Times style magazine  [ mar 22 ] has a very nice piece  on Frank Stella . So , does anybody want to do a Stellation . That is , do a painting that looks like a Stella ? Not mindless art ! " The Jay Challenge #2 accepted: Crystal Cudworth Jay Crondahl Pua Maunu

AUTOMATIC ART  March 30, 2020  by Jay Crondahl "First , first thing in the morning hop out of bed like a cork out of a Champaign bottle!  Next , dress as fast as you can , except a nice big shirt which you are going to wave about for five minutes  just like a matador  waves his big red Cape. Yaaaa, let your shirt settle gently over your shoulders now , ignore  the bull , saunter  into the studio and mindlessly  paint your version  of  a  Jackson Pollock .   Here is my version " And responding to Jay's challenge Cristine Crooks Jane Lindsey Timi Johnson Crystal Cudworth Beth Potter  Kerry Kirkpatrick The Squirrel of Judgment Teri Robus Pua Maunu
