If I had $2,450 extra dollars.. I sure as hell wouldn't buy that ugly thing..
Maybe I ..... no... ..I definitely DON'T know anything about art.. but I do know what is pretty and what is not.. and I would vote that the painting there is a Not..
( of course that is just my simple ignorant of art opinion.) :-\
On this one, I am voting with you, Teresa. I do not see art in it either.
For that amount of money I could get a new laptop, new Siruis radio for the car and still take a nice trip.
I leave the collecting to someone else. I want the toys.
The art I appreciate is hanging on my wall, painted by first daughter. The other art, photos of my kids, grandkids and grt grnds; parents, grandparents and grt grndprnts.
I was just getting ready to say that I have some beautiful art ( in my eyes) of Ashley's colorings and drawings hanging on my fridge.
With her letters written in pink crayon.. "I love U " :)
Remember this is a wood block print. I wonder who the seller is!
In response to Roma Jean's comment on Sirius radio.
When that service first came out a few years ago, I thought who would ever pay to listen to the radio?
We received a free one year subscription with our van and I am sold. Only problem is when one pulls into a garage or other structure, the signal is lost.
Nevertheless, we listen to Sirius almost exclusively in town and even CD's cannot beat it for cross country driving.
There are no stations, as such. Everything comes in over channels. Fox TV News comes in over one channel, and on another the Lone Ranger, Gunsmoke, Gang Busters, The Shadow, and others is on daily. There are several country genre channels as well as pop genre channels. Howard Stern has two channels but I have never liked him.
Sirius has a capacity of 200 channels but maybe only two-thirds are used.
My wife likes to listen to the Korean music station, which I also enjoy. But, when Korean Rap comes on we are both trying to change the channel.
Of course, when the first cable TV in the US started in Bartlesville in 1957, I thought, who would ever pay to watch TV?
Perhaps, we are looking at one day having almost all cars sold with satellite radio.
We just bought a new Honda Accord that had a 3-month free subscription to Satellite Radio. I thought, "Oh wow, another gadget to deal with", but after only 2 months of using it, I am sold on it. No commercials and so many choices of categories of stations. We make the 3 1/2 hour trip to Kansas often, and we WILL continue the subscription.
I'm with you Teresa, if that is art I don't need any art. Not even at $24.50. Be it wood or canvas.
This is the third pickup I have had with XM satellite radio, and the second pickup I have had with Onstar. I will never again go without satellite radio. I drive six hours a day on the mail route, six days a week, and enjoy listening to music from the 1960's, Dr. Laura, fox news network, the comedy channels, etc. Onstar is great, too, but I would go without Onstar before I would go without XM Radio.
I download different podcasts on my I-pod and we take that with us when we travel, but Kjell never shuts up talking so it's hard to listen to anything.. hahaha ;D
I LOVE books to listen to. I don't like music really in a car unless I am by myself.. then I can sing loud, but I like commentary's news etc..
How much is the subscription a month and do you need any special kind of radio etc?
Do they have books that you can listen to?
I also like the idea of TV shows to listen to...
((on the topic at hand... :-\ I am sorry ..but even if it was painted on gold wood or whatever.. I just thought the picture is pure ugliness.))
:o As if I wasn't lusting after the radio enough, now I will probably be dreaming about it!! Ha, ha.
I have this 1999 Regal that is in top shape, all the extras for 1999 and doesn't even have 100,000 yet so can't justify trading for the radio. I love my car, BUT, there is no way to hook Sirius up to it. I can get the one that you tune through the FM of the radio I already have, but understand that diminishes the sound or can sometimes be in conflict with other signals. I can't find anyone who has that to get another opinion. The other option is to replace my radio, CD player, etc to the tune or almost $500.00 installed.
The next car I get will have it and Onstar as well. As a single women who travels alone a lot, I think the Onstar would be a real comfort. Anyway, thanks for the input. See ya soon.
Teresa, I think the art in the picture is probably what it takes to produce the wood blocks. Can't you imagine the carving, etc. that it would take? And the planning to get the desired picture? Still prefer my daughter's paintings. At least they look like the real thing.
I know you're right Wilma.. and I also realize art and beauty is in the eye of the beholder ( or the one who can afford it ;))
I am sure there is something very unique about the painting lest it wouldn't have the $ tag on it that it does.
I have had XM radio for about 4 years and bought an extended contract when the monthly rate increased so I could lock in my current rate. I love it cause I can transfer it to the car, to the house, to anyplace and just hook it up to my BOSE player. Wow! It is better than better. And it goes with you whether you are traveling to another state, etc. and spend hours upon hours on the highway. It has all types of news, comedy, music, children's stations, Oprah, sports, etc. Really good thing as I can see it.
Good News! The seller has reduced the price on the ugly print to $2,000! (A savings of $450.00!)
;D Thanks again Satillite radio users, you inspired me to research further. I found I could hook up
the radio through the cassette player in the car. I now have Sirius radio and am thrilled that you
can listen to it online as well. My trip to the gathering will be even more fun.
