I enjoy watching squeegee art videos So when I had a request to teach the technique, I jumped on it. I found it was a little harder than it looks, and definitely messy! Note that I am wearing an old sweatshirt turned inside out. But it was fun and so I taught it to the person who had asked and some others too.   To stay ahead of the mess and of the paint drying, it works best if you have a partner who holds your paper down while you pull the squeegee. They are also wonderful if they immediately take away your wet painting and re-supply you with extra paper to use up the interesting paint that remains on your squeegee . In this case the holding credit goes to Ellen E. and the video credit goes to Mary E. It's important to say that because they are now stars in the social media world. This silly little video went viral on Facebook.  Here is the link to the video on facebook, in case you would like to see what all the fuss is about: Christmas Tree Squeegee Art.   As of this writing, it has has been viewed by 9.1 million people: 17,913 liked it, 313 commented and 293 shared. I don't really know what made the algorithm so happy, but I think that I owe a debt of gratitude to a few internet trolls who kicked things off by calling the results ugly, birthday cake-like or just plain "better before you squeegeed it." Then a lot of internet angels jumped to my defense and argued with them, dropping the occasional f-bomb on the way!   Let me reassure you that my identity as an artist is pretty secure these days, so no-one managed to hurt my feelings. I also don't consider this Christmas Tree/Birthday Cake the pinnacle of my skills. It was just something fun to do and fun to share.   On the flip side, I did not get a big head from knowing how many people looked at it. Most probably never even noticed my name. If they followed my account, most will drop off as soon as they realize this is not my usual fare. I can only hope that one or two will click the link to my website, see my real art and maybe enjoy it.   Andy Warhol may have been the person who said that "In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." Or, per Wikipedia, it may have been said about him. In either case, I have had 13 seconds of my share and I choose to throw the remaining 14 minutes and 47 seconds back in the pool. It is not as fun as advertised.   And it brings some very odd people out of the woodwork.   How about you? Have you had your 15 minutes? I'm interested in what you think about it.   Nan
