But where's the monkey?
It morped into a most colorful turtle.
Slower pace of life and all that. 
Most cool. Thanks for sharing the article.

Hmm, did you notice that the picture in the article is NOT the same as the first one gunug posted above?
Hey, gunug, where did the one you posted originate?

There is a set of photos there and you can see the variations in the other pics.
Great idea and well consummated.

Giant Mike - Do I remember correctly, w/o googling it, that the Rock River is the same river that flows through the Dells? Do they have concerts in the same location, more or less, as the recreation? I think the monkey was lost with the foreground ladies bustle!
Since he didn't answer...
I am 99% positive, without looking at my atlas in the car, that the Wisconsin River flows through Wisconsin Dells, and the Rock River flows through Waukesha County, just a few miles west of the Milwaukee city limit.
.....
Finally got to see the images. Very neat!
They should try this with (some) other famous paintings.

That's from the VirtualDali site: www.vitualdali.com
It might require lots of time and a blender, a blender big enough to get a horse into!

Of course, we could have a good discussion on Tomato Torrent, of which I know nothing other than I like the page and the name.

In looking at my atlas, I see that it's the Fox River that is nearby, not the Rock. I don't know where the Rock River is I guess. I thought it was in Illinois - Rockford maybe? ...and that it also is in Wisconsin somewhere. I do know that the communities along the western shore of Lake Winnebago are in the Fox River Valley, but thought that river went farther west from there. Oh well...

I'm so sorry.But seriously folks...here is a modern day pointillist.
This guy is amazing.
He's just souper!

Haven't picked up a brush in ages.
Here are two of my paintings that are hanging at my folks' house. I sold all but one other.

The style looks really original and unique and the framing is perfect.
I hope your students paid attention and learned something.

Thanks guys. The first one is of my sister and the second one did win a few awards in art shows.
Someday maybe I'll get my act together and put up a website with my etchings and jewelry.
Someday...
