The story behind this "masterpiece"? My Dad was a craftsman and worked his own sheet metal shop. Now the guys in the local businesses always knew, and helped move info through the grapevine, when certain inspectors were heading to the area. Well, one was on the way shortly and my Dad had a batch of paint hanging around that needed to be disposed of first. Instead of doing the environmentally irresponsible thing of dumping it all, he took old jagged pieces of plywood and dumped the paint all over them creating "art". When dry, he hung them up on the walls of the shop with ridiculous price tags. No one ever bought one, but I have a couple hanging up in my garage to remember my Dad and his wonderful sense of humor. Wow, I really miss him and can't believe he's been gone for almost 17 years. *sigh*
PS - he passed inspection!
