The European performance area has a great advantage over the American performance area for liberty animals(any animal not confined to a cage) in that you are surrounded by a "round pen". It an animal should leave the "ring/performance area it has no place to go except back into the ring. In America the libery animals are surrounded by a large "oval pen" with many areas to go if they leave the performance ring. Example: if they are in the right ring(ring 3) they have all the area from there to ring 1 on the opposite end in which to flee. and vise versa. The center ring has the dynamics of two different directions in which to flee.

European performace area--unchanged for 300 years. Americas performance area changed in 1950, when the good style bad style myth started

The clinic on "direction in the arena" is wonderful Wade. I must know though, who is your illustrator? I was under the assumption all your children were grown up. Where did you find a 5 yr old with a box of Crayola's? My 5 yr old really digs this artist's abstract style with the curvy lines, and random sized text. haha
Casey,
I've got something here you can abstract. Why don't you abstract this. Van Gogh cut his ear off, so that should indicate to you that artists like myself are half nuts and you may not want "critique" any further.

The blasphemy!!!!
You using Van Gogh's name in the same post as your "cave drawings" is a kin to me using my name with the likes of Gebel, Bauman, or Beatty,,,lol
Casey,
If you have studied Van Gogh's crap closely, you would realize it was an appropriate analogy. Now come here and give me your ear.
