Monday Morning Art: Bill Dings

Another week of MG flaring up too much for me to do a new piece of physical work sees me dragging out a smallish rough piece from late last year.  This is another Chicago cityscape, rendered in pastel crayon with colored ink wash over top in places, on illustration board. It’s basically just a visual “note” for a potential later piece on canvas with much greater detail.

This was done to capture the composition and color that I wanted, but if I take it to canvas I may try to employ some Hopperesque technique on it.

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 an also classic edition of Herman Linte’s weekly showcase of the Progressive Rock of the past half-century, Prognosis.  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.

At 8 PM you can hear the twisted music of Barnes and Barnes on a classic episode of The Comedy Vault.

Tonight at 9 PM for the Monday Marathon we alternate between Psychedelic Shack and Beatles Blast, beginning with the crossover episodes between Nigel Pye and myself.
