My wife thought my William > Burroughs was my own father - (maybe he is though?) Now that gives me an idea. An idea I won't bother executing. I'll claim it's my generosity causing me to tell you it: Equipment needed: * A number of paint brushes * A means of attaching paint brushes such as cable ties, sticky tape, or string * A canvas * An easel to attach canvas to. * A very windy day * A means to anchor easel to ground, somehow, tent pegs, or whatever. * A bush, aka shrubbery. * Assortment of paints Securely attach canvas to easel, bring easel close to bush - the closeness should be measured well within a paintbrush length. Attach paint brushes to bush so that all tips touch canvas. Optionally remove canvas at this stage. Saturate all brushes with paints. If canvas was removed before this stage, re-attach canvas to easel. Instruct weather system to behave such that bush becomes animated. Remove canvas once whim indicates you should do so.
