Monday Morning Art: Potomac at Night

This week’s art is an Impressionistic pastel piece inspired by the view out the window of Amtrak’s Cardinal as it approaches the station in Washington DC.

By that point in our trip, on the way to NYC, it was dark and I was barely awake, and with the fog, rain and night, the river and sky had an eerie sheen….which seemed appropriate for Halloween week.

This was done largely with pastel crayons on textured paper, with a bit of acrylic touch-up here and there. It’s a bit of a departure from what I’ve been doing the last few years, but I think it sort of works.

Meanwhile, over in radioland, Monday beginning at 2 PM on The AIR,  we bring you a classic episode of Psychedelic Shack, and then at 3 PM we kick into Halloween with the “War of the Worlds” episode of Herman Linte’s weekly showcase of the Progressive Rock of the past half-century, Prognosis. Following that, you can expect a brand-new, Halloweeny Radio Free Charleston, and the best of ten years of Halloween-themed music and comedy programs all week long on The AIR.

You can listen to The AIR at the website, or on the embedded radio player elsewhere on this page. Psychedelic Shack can be heard every Monday at 2 PM, with replays Tuesday at 9 AM, Wednesday at 10 PM, Friday at 1 PM,  and Saturday at 9 AM. You can hear Prognosis on The AIR Monday at 3 PM, with replays Tuesday at 7 AM, Wednesday at 8 PM, Thursday at Noon, and Saturday at 10 AM.

Tonight at 8 PM, tune in for a scary edition of The Comedy Vault. That’s followed by two-hour blocks of Curtain Call and Beatles Blast at 9 PM and 11 PM, and then an overnight assortment of our Haversham Recording Institute programs at 1 AM.
