Which is better? "Frosted Blue" or Sarah's Trailer



Let's begin with Frosted Blue by Kirk Seufert. Something of a departure from Kirk's usually fiery fare, Frosted Blue soothes the viewer with, well, cool blue frost. The tan swath is something of an enigma, though, leaving critics to wonder "Would not Sand Bar have been a more appropriate title?" To which I blythely respond, "Why don't you try to create a fitting title a mere 3 minutes before a silent auction fund raiser you forgot about?" Of course, I then admit that Sand Bar would have been better, and hand them one of my brochures.








Now, onto Sarah's Trailer. Sure, it's a fine piece of craftmanship. Big, strong, sturdy and big. But to use such a beast to carry art to shows is pure folly. Notice the lack of a top. Listen, I can tell you from experience, doing 75 on a windy, rainy day sans top is quite deleterious to pastels. Thus, I'm going to have to go with Frosted Blue as "better," and thus quite purchase worthy, though it's actually gone, having been fought over at the aforementioned silent auction.
