It is no surprise that, after "Them Weitzel Brothers" had careers managing amusement parks that required us to receive liberal amounts of sunshine in every workday, we added visits to a dermatologist to our treating physicians.

My skill is the use of color. I like brilliant color. On most occasions, I have an idea of what I want to do (at least on one canvas), when I pick a day to paint in the studio. But I can also go to the studio with no idea in mind and by the time I set up the studio to paint (takes about 25 minutes), I know what I want to attempt. I have been known to complete 5 small canvases in a day, but my average is 2 per painting session.

This story started because my brother asked me if Spin Art is art. The question opened a discussion of my view of art, and we thought it best if I capture the key points of our chat before the ideas were forgotten. By no means can I provide the end-all answers to such questions, but I have provided my initial answers to the question that my brother posed.

I grew up at time when families only had one camera and it was pulled out of the closet for special occasions. By the time I entered college, I owned a small box camera, so I was at a disadvantage to those students who owned photographer quality equipment.
