The Three Rivers Arts Festival is a big deal here in Pittsburgh. It is usually a rainy couple of weeks but not this year. Yesterday I gave a workshop to a few artists, one of which needed to be close to the porta potty. I thought, OK why not make that the subject of my demo? It was an excellent example of complementary colors, simple shapes, light and color families. A smart ass passerby told me it was a crappy painting. I have to admit it brought a smile to both of us.

And a smile to me as well--very humorous.
regardless of the subject you bring such strength and dignity to the work
Funny! This really made me laugh out loud! Thanks Ron! Very strong painting!
Funny!
I learn from your work that good painting is more about strong shapes, composition, and light...and subject matter is not so relevant.
Ron, I had an instructor tell me that a good artist can find subject matter anywhere. You sure proved him right! I had a good laugh, also. Thanks for sharing.
I had to laugh also - you have elevated the Porta Potty to a whole new level, Ron!
A great humorous conversation piece for sure. Porta pottie's never looked so good.
Ha... fun painting!
