This week’s art is a small acrylic-on-illustration board study for a future larger canvas work. The plan is to make it another homage to Edward Hopper…hence the name.

This is based on a random photo of an apartment building I took from the L in Chicago. I don’t remember for sure where it was, but it was probably somewhere on the Brown line, North of the Loop.

I basically slapped this down to get the color and compostion, and paint out where the reflections from inside the train were.  The finished piece will have a completely different approach to the sky. I consider the sky a weak point of mine, and really need to work on that in the future.

Over in radioland, Monday at 2 PM on The AIR, we bring you encores of a classic episode of Psychedelic Shack, and then at 3 PM a recent 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 an hour of songs from The Simpsons on a classic episode of The Comedy Vault.

Tonight at 9 PM for the Monday Marathon we devote ten hours to the first five episodes of Prognosis. We will be alternating between Prognosis and Sydney’s Big Electric Cat for the next several weeks, because we’re going to be pulling the early episodes of those shows from the server soon to make room for newer programs. After they’ve been offline for a year or so, we’ll bring them back into rotation but for now, you can hear them Monday evening into Tuesday morning, and then those episode will go on hiatus.
