"Amy the Dripper"

A 1948 Time Magazine article once referred to abstract American artist Jackson Pollock as "Jack the Dripper" and the nickname stuck.

I discovered this fun Flash-based site so that you, too, may try your hand at painting like Jackson Pollock. (The above screen capture is my attempt). *Hint: hit the space bar to keep changing your paint colors.

How does your creation compare to one of Pollock's masterpieces? (Shown below: Number 11, 1958 by Jackson Pollock).

I'll end with my favorite Jackson Pollock quote: He was once asked "How do you know when you are finished?" to which he replied, "How do you know when you're finished making love?"

In my case, I knew I was done when it was time to get back to work. Have fun!
