I sent that to my wife, who runs an art store. We went to Picasso's house in Paris on vacation.
To be honest, I really can't stand Picasso's works.. But hey, here a dirty unmade bed won an art prize

and a stuffed animal also won a prize

Sad that Picasso's art has been included in main stream art and every art student has to study it and extol it. It's more like the emperor's new clothes.
@marlingardener 's card actually shows superior skills! LOL!

Hi,
Many thanks for sharing marlingardner; it's a vast improvement on original Picasso's in fact it resembles a snowman (being pc should this now read snowperson?
).
Well said alp; Bron and I wouldn't have a picasso hanging in our home we both dislike abstracts; perhaps he was one of the first on drugs?
Kind regards, Colin.

Sometimes I wonder if Picasso got over on the art world?
Haha! Definitely NOT!

Picasso was a much better sculptor than (?)painter. We went to an exhibit of early abstract art, and saw a Picasso sculpture for the first time--fascinating!
I have read that Picasso would sit at a cafe in Paris, make a few lines on a napkin, sign it, and give it away. Then he would laugh himself silly at someone thinking this was "art" because he signed it!

Maybe. But more likely he was in Paris because something tickled below the buckle. Picasso hid a lot of pornography in his work. And then there was Matisse.
From what I Know And have read of Him He was in to Poppies in a big way

I wonder if anyone would tell me that I'm drawing like Picasso is a compliment or an excuse for a fight?
