tar art--"CAVE BEHIND THE MOON" (c) 2006 Elton Houck.. (This painting was painted entirely with TAR...on a 7.5" X 10" bristol vellum). .TAR ART! What is it? And where do I find it? And why would or should I care? Well, here are the answers to these questions that have plagued mankind from the birth of creation....TAR ART IS EXACTLY AS IT STATES...IT IS ART PAINTED WITH TAR...Tar is a black creosote substance that takes forever to dry...and that is why you find so few tar artists...It is not unusual for an art work painted with tar to take years to dry completely... Now the other two questions that keep many a man and woman tossing and turning on their beds at night, anxious and befuddled and unable to sleep as visions of TAR PAINTINGS dance in their heads...They are overwrought with wonder at the sight of TAR ART...and THEY, the sleepless multitudes, long to see this ancient of ancient art forms in all its pristine beauty, but they do not know where to find the clandestine TAR ART ARTIST...The mystery is over, the quest is a success---FOR RIGHT HERE BEFORE YOUR TEAR FILLED EYES YOU CAN VIEW TAR ART... Now the other question...is why should I care about Tar Art...again the answer is simple --- "BECAUSE YOU SHOULD!!!!'" Sleep well pilgrims...Tar Art is no longer just a wishful dream...
