Mine would have Snookie's hands around a heron's throat with a koi hanging out of its beak.

Is this to paint THE pond or to do a painting OF the pond?

It sounds like they're trying to get someone to paint on the floor of the actual koi pond in the park. Also sounds like they're trying to do it on the cheap...$5K??? For that amount, I'll do it with a roller.

They'd have more money to spend if so many homeowners hadn't stiffed them on HOA dues.

That's kinda ghetto.....the owners have nothing left over after paying for the GCT & SS upgrades I presume?

Some of them didn't even get the GCT & SS, probably just made bad business investments.

If they are painting the bottom of the Koi pond does that mean everyone has to rush over for the 2 weeks when it's clear to actually see it?

[Miss Kitty]

Well, I think they should let some kids paint fish on the bottom and all it a day.

Call it a day?

They would probably have to be child prodigies trained by Italian masters.

Vanna...I'd like to buy a 'c'!

It's a family community, so let the families paint it.

You should get SJ to submit a sketch and then you can show up with spray paint, glitter, and rhinestones.

Bad idea, you'd drown one night after a round of Planters Punch.

Oh, but what a way to go! I think I am on to Mojitos now.

They are good and you remained upright that night, an 87% increase in verticality over last year.

Thanks for pointing that out. After re-reading it, it sounds more clear that they want the actual lining of the pond painted, but when I first read it, it sounded like they wanted a commissioned canvas painting of the pond. I agree that $5,000 sound cheap for a work that large. I wonder if you could see the piece from google maps when they reshoot that area.

Only if the Satellite hits that area during the 2 weeks in the spring that it's clear.

Oddly when I tried zooming in the first two times it bounced me to Canada.

whomever gets to paint is going to be surprised when they find out that it isn't exactly a circle, unless that satellite image has it looking different than it is.

IIRC when it was built they laid out the edge with a garden hose.

[Smiling JOe]

It wouldn't so great up close, but this would be cool to see in the koi pond from the satellite image:



Why do they still call it the Koi Pond, since the birds ate all the Koi which have been gone for years?

[SWGB]

The same reason we keep referring to America as a Democracy, habit.

When do you two sleep?

Assuming there are $18000 worth of GCT and SS in a house purchased for 1.725 million dollars... 99% of the problem isn't the "upgrades." It's the math that wasn't done by the buyers.

Hello. I submitted sketches for this project and prepared a blog for the proposal. I was told I was being considered with three others, but I was not ultimately selected. I am not sure if the blog was viewed during the deliberation process. I figured I would post it here if anyone was curious about some of the proposals, and before I delete the blog.

Here is the link: Watercolor Koi Pond

I am finally moving to 30a within a couple of weeks! I am looking for a smaller apartment/long term rental. Please let me know if you have any leads. Oh art related jobs/ work too. Thanks!
