I tend to very much like naive/outsider artists--I am reminded of one in the East Village who had huge numbers of paintings made on cut canvas that she sold for $1 a piece.

(Also house is up for sale and have to have it clean and ready to show at all times. Ugh). I also need to visit and comment on numerous other prompts before I feel right about joining another prompt.
