4 crying out Loud- Art in the eye of the beholder

Does any one else paint have this problem as well... I have hundreds of paints, cheap ones expesive ones, ones that dry out and ones Ive never touched.Ones Iv been told are not worth the money I payed for them. Now that I'm getting a bit better at paining because I'm doing it on a daily basis. What do I do with all these extra tubes and bottles. I called up the schools and asked if they wanted them but they said no because they weren't purchased from there suppliers. So I thought Id donate them to the local church, but they don't run an art department. I hate to toss them out so I thought Id put on a rubber suit of sorts, get out the largest canvas I own, pour all my unwanted colors all over and dive in. If it turns out to be a master piece then in 60 years will all that cheap paint be worthless or will I have shown them all..... as I giggle knowing fully well I don't own a rubber suit, but it sure did make me think of cheap paint and did artists from say 200 years ago use the finest or what was affordable.... Is a picaso worth 20 million.?

The world as I know it

I'm 49 and soon to be 50 come this August and don't want a cell phone, hate the people that keep calling up asking me if I want one. I don't have enough friends to call even if I did have one. I remember when people didn't need to talk in the grocery store on a phone to verify if they needed milk.But here I am my very fist Blog and wondering who in this world would care or even come close to reading this. I don't mind being a few paces behind. Now off into hyperspace for this and see what happens if any thing at all.
Oh and if your out there reading this check out some jewelry I'm making to keep me busy while I'm not on any phone talking the day away.
