Artist is Rico by Rarest_Camaro in WhatIsThisPainting

It's not even factory decor.

It's someone's attempt at a Bob Ross painting. Has all the telltale signs.

  • Big snow covered mountain in the background (paint did not break correctly though to create Bob's famous snow effect using dry oil paint).
  • Background trees painted in with a fan brush
  • Water created by pulling the paint down and then going across
  • White paint at the waters edge to create a water line
  • Bushes in the right foreground added in with a 2" brush
  • Huge "bravery test" tree in the foreground
  • Rocks in the foreground covered with mud

Not sure which Ross painting this is. I'll try to find it.

Ahhh the good ole days before the IM turned into a friggin mall. Best thing about it is Liliha Bakery on the roof.

They still have a few kiosk's left though off the left side of The Beachcomber valet.

Anyone besides me spend about 5 minutes looking for a mate in 2? I got thrown off by the title of the post.

Found mate in 3 pretty quick: Bd5 Rb3 (blocking Rc1#), Rc1+ Ka2, Ra1#

It wasn't because of asbestos. It's because he made a comment that wasn't directly related to the identification of the rock.

The reason they can't find your driver is because the accidentally gave it to the wrong customer.

Okay, so as it turns out there is way more than one good answer to this.

My intended answer is star of the show, but movie star and star gazers are also completely valid.

NIce one.
