'SAD TEENAGER' by Vlademar Cher, Sweden (2005)
9" x 12", pastel crayon and acrylic pain
Donated by the artist
MOBA #438'
A young woman is portrayed lying on her stomach with her hands on her chin and her legs kicking in the air in this portrait of "teenage ennui". She seems to have no joie de vivre. She also has no pants.

L_Miya is winning the prize so far!! - That has to be THE most hideous painting I have ever seen! (and it's not as if the colours themselves are awful it's just what the artist has done with them!!)' ♥♥
Pauses suddenly, transfixed by the awful thought it will turn out to be a L_Miya original painting posted as a joke (and that I will just have committed a terrible 'faux pas'!!)
hopes she hasn't put her foot in it!

Lucy in the field with Flowers by Unknown
EXERPT FROM THE MOBA NEWS, ISSUE #23
Susan Lawlor was drinking a glass of coke last Friday, perusing a copy of the Improper Bostonian, a weekly Boston, newspaper. She turned the page and began reading an article in the City Rave section called "The Finest in Bad Art". She glanced below at a picture of HER GRANDMOTHER and spit coke all over the table. Lucy In The Field With Flowers, MOBA's Mona Lisa -- its first painting -- is in fact a portrait of Ms. Lawlor's late grandmother, Anna Lally Keane.
Jerez the Clown by Higgins
Bust by Pablo Picasso, 1970
Mama and Babe by Sarah Irani, 1995

ON VACATION IN ITALY by Robert Muldrow (Brooklyn, 2007)
At the Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA) world's only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms.
I've been belly-laughing for an hour looking at bad paintings. Trying to resist doing one of the Nekkid Obama on Unicorn paintings! :P

I can't believe I didn't see this until so late in the day (I got a notice 18 hours after sunmeadow sent the love note). This collection of paintings and palettes is just horrible-phenomenal!

UNSEEN FORCES #4
Inspiration
Pastels and acrylic on canvas by Unknown
24" x 30"
The organ master stares, transfixed by twin mysterious visions; the Neanderthal saint in the setting sun and the Gothic monk proceeding out from the cathedral's sanctum -- each framed by a halo of organ pipes, reminiscent of #2 pencils.

As an alternate, or in addition to today's challenge, I pose the following special challenge in commemoration of April Fool's Day, and as suggested by starfishian. The source of your inspiration should come from a selection of The World's Worst Paintings (see links below to get you started, or do your own custom search). Happy April Fool's Day!
