ragtags studio central: sarah's random this & that

random means "having no definite aim or purpose," (1655), taken from "at random" (1565), "at great speed" (thus, "carelessly, haphazardly"). In 1980s college student slang, it somehow, and sadly, acquired a distinct sense of "inferior, undesirable." (Online Etymology Dictionary, Douglas Harper) Well, okay, fine, Mr. Online Etymology Dictionary person, but THIS is the 21st Century. It's a whole new ball of wax.

No Bulls pierced by Banderillas though...

While the bull might be a preferred "subject matter", probably banderilla piercing would fall under the category of "morbid prop". John Baldessari (American, b. 1931). Tips for Artists Who Want to Sell, 1966-68. Acrylic on canvas. 68 x 56 1/2 in.

I think I'd be in trouble because my paintings are usually dark. But I do like Madonnas. :)

Had any Biscochitos lately? After blogging about them around Christmas, my daughter made some for me for my birthday.
