OK
SO here's a THING I did
by WAY of a 
CALIBRATION tool 

it MIGHT not WORK 

BACKSTORY 
my mom has had a studio for years
it USED to be
in a different location 

SO
BEFORE she put everything in storage 
she wanted to 
MAKE sure 
I had some of her work

JUST in CASE 

& I mean MAYBE 
or maybe she wanted to have fewer things to 
MOVE

because MOST of the TIMES 
I've ASKED for 
ANY of her
ART

she would be all LIKE 
UMM, sure
BUT 
NOW is a BAD TIME for you to TAKE it

BUT then 
there NEVER was
a ME
GETTING 
the painting 


FURTHER BACKGROUND 

one time my mom & I went to
BLUEBIRD CIRCLE 
&
I bought this
WATERCOLOR she told me she thought was UGLY 
I was walking around with it
when she told me it was
UGLY

I had replaced the BIG SUR triptic
because the nakedness 
FELT
uncomfortable 
&
it's been there ten years an' all

I replaced it with 
the UGLY painting --  which in actuality is a tourist watercolor from Acapulco with a stand
selling stuffed animals 
OR pinatas 
SWEET 
FACE
bunny

BUT 
I decided I didn't really like it in that spot
AND

I replaced it with 
a painting I got from my mom
I think she did it in a class
BUT 
there's ALL that

BUT 
ALSO

is it flowers and grass
OR WAVES
is the frame silver
OR silver and gold

ALSO
on the other wall
i put THIS, which is also one of those paintings 

she probably did THIS in a workshop
it's yupo paper
it's a SLICK surface
rather
NONabsorbant pooling the
I THINK it's liquid INK

neither of these
is her style
particularly and I like them both VERY MUCH 



BRIEFLY*
*I have to go back and figure out where this briefly goes --  parenthetical outta control**

**yeah, there's no way to put it back in;  it was supposed to go right after 
"replaced it with the ugly painting"
