"The Paleolithic hunters who painted the unsurpassed animal murals on the ceiling of the cave at Altamira had only rudimentary tools. Art is older than production for use, and play older than work. Man was shaped less by what he had to do than by what he did in playful moments. "

Eric Hoffer

No time to stay home and shovel, pack, shape and smooth out my own, so spent the lunch hour collecting some shots of others who did.  There are thousands of shots of high end masterpieces online, some to rival Mt. Rushmore in size and ambition, but I prefer the home style amateur efforts...except for the last one which struck my fancy as a hard core Moby Dick and Melville fan. 

Isn't that what's his name? Yeah, saxy ex Prez Bill Clinton
 on front lawn of house in Duluth MN. 

Family in Rahwah New Jersey were rewarded for this
piece of artistry by some neighbors who took offense and called the cops....

...who ordered them to do some retouching to conform
to community standards--I think the clothed version
 is far more lascivious. 

A bit too avant-garde for my tastes...

If only Melville could have known his masterpiece would
inspire such a tribute over a century later
