Boo Berry and Frankenberry are hard to find sometimes! I guess they're brought back for Halloween. There isn't much nutrition in these boxes, to put it mildly, but I can hardly resist buying them. There's something about blue and pink cereal that is creatively inspiring. General Mills knew how to appeal to kids (and me), when they made these cereals.
Oh, wow! :) I haven't seen these in propably 30 years! Maybe it is a Pennsylvania thing. Which one did you buy? :)
ReplyDeleteI bought all three! :) Yum! The photo is the actual boxes. :)
ReplyDeleteSomeone is going to have "big fun" for breakfast! :) Enjoy! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, maybe I'll mix all three in one bowl! :-) I wonder what color the milk would be. :)
ReplyDeleteThat might be too much excitment! :) I wonder if you would be able to recreate the "color" in your paints? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I could! It would probably be a brown or gray sludge color. Very appetizing!
ReplyDeleteActually, I think being able to mix beautiful gray colors is a key to painting realistically.
I think I understand what you saying. Being an artist sets you apart from all of us "regular" folks! What a blessing you are to me!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Mom! Well I just meant that paints straight from a tube are very high intensity in color. It's good to tone down the color some, in order to make what you're painting look more real. Colors aren't usually so saturated in real life! Of course there is call for intense colors at times, especially in more abstract painting.
ReplyDeleteAhhh... intense colors! That is why I like abstract painting! I was watching Bob Ross paint a barn using a "knife". Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteIn art class, we study classical methods of painting, which is very beneficial and interesting of course. But sometimes I have to remind myself that rules are made to be broken! In the late 1800's and early 1900's, western artists started exploring abstraction in art, pronouncing traditional representational painting as being "dead".
ReplyDeleteThe history of art here in Bucks County is an example of that. Pennsylvania Impressionism was alive and well, until a major modern art exhibit in New York (the Armory Show in 1913) changed Americans' tastes in art. Suddenly everyone loved abstract art (even though critics at the time didn't think that could possibly happen). But now today once again, PA Impressionism is a very strong force here. There's a deep respect again for the traditional painting techniques.
Painting with a knife is a unique experience. It gives a painting a very different look! Bob Ross should have painted some chickens walking around the barn. :)
I meant Armory show, not Amory. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the "art lesson", Mikey. How does one ever learn so much? Yes, that would of been cute for Bob Ross to add some chickens. :) Do you think you would be interested in painting with a knife?
ReplyDeleteYes, I would like using a knife! I have an idea in mind for an abstract painting, which makes use of some thick paint. A knife could be handy for that!
ReplyDeleteAny ideas that you can share with us about what your painting might be about? :)
ReplyDeleteThe painting would be based on a photograph taken by a friend of mine! The photo is of an interior of an old warehouse, and if you squint at the photo, you can see a strong abstract design within it. It has strong compositional elements, color and texture!
ReplyDeleteVery different for you ,Mikey. I'll be watching! :)
