one thousand paintings

I hate it when someone else thinks of something absolutely brilliant. I just purchased the painting, pictured above. It's one of a thousand pieces of artwork that are being sold at One thousand paintings.com. There's a sliding scale of mathematics that determines the price of each painting. Much too complicated for any creative person to understand - but it's all pretty affordable.

Someone who is better at math than I am, can add it all up - and see that an artist in Switzerland is about to make a lot of money. Warhol is dancing in his grave right now. Parents - here's proof that a fine arts degree doesn't necessarily guarantee a life of waiting tables. Not that there's anything wrong with that. From BoingBoing.

Yeah, it's a brilliant idea. It reminds of the of the 2000 Bricks project, which is also starting to gain momentum.

Yah absolutely great. I think the part that makes it so wonderful is the feeling that each person is contributing to something greater and through that gains some individuality (in owning the numbered painting).

I posted a quick entry at my blog http://www.america-daily.com/ about onethousandpaintings and the times we live in.

Thanks,

Will be interested to see some these paintings end up on eBay after they sell all 1,000 out.
