Some quotes from dave white

"There's a lot of trash, a lot of debris, a lot of sentimental things that mean something to somebody, everywhere.”
“We see it as a tool to convince people during dry summers that their sprinkling during the daytime hours was not beneficial to them or to the utility. They're wasting their water. They're wasting our water.”

This is one I like. Parts of this painting are very detailed like the face and feet, but other parts are a bit messy like the wings. But I think it works well together.

I really like this painting. The cougar almost looks like its in the rain but the colour is dripping off him. Its quite detailed. 
This one has less drips/splats on it. I think this makes it look more realistic but it still has a slight surrealism to it.
This painting looks really detailed and short of has a graffiti style affect. He has added the drips again. I like this affect, it makes it look like its still being painted/ the paint is running off it.
