There are many ways to use drawing and painting skills. I attempt to make “High Art” but Brian, who you’ve met before hunting wild turkeys from an easy chair in a family member’s living room (see blog of Oct 6 2012 called Hunting Wild Turkey in High Heels With Matching Handbag), has a friend who paints scenes on old saw blades and such like. The friend decided he needed to paint on old wood planks so he searched and finally found old boards somewhat holding up a falling down , ancient, and odorous, outhouse. From the sound of it I’m surprised he could stay in the same room while he painted on the outhouse planks. The wood had soaked in the total ombionce, essence, and I’ll say it straight, SMELL. The painting was hung in public and two old women were discussing their young years, when outhouses were the only place of “relief”, and one was heard to say said, “I can almost smell it!”
In public showings I’ve also gotten strong reactions without what I’d call a scratch and sniff quality.  nancymauerman.com
