Monday Morning Art: Looking Down (Rough)

This week’s art is a very small, very rough first attempt at capturing a view from the CTA Brown Line (AKA “The L”) in Chicago.

It’s watercolor on textured paper. My intent is to re-do this in acrylics on canvas.  Rest assured that, when I do, that flaming bright green I used on the one tree will be considerably tamed.

I was knocking this out quick, and didn’t bother mixing the paints to my satisfaction.

The finished piece will feature considerably more detail, and quite a bit of the Edward Hopper flair that I’ve been playing with for a few years now.

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 do the same with an encore of the very first episode of Herman Linte’s weekly showcase of the Progressive Rock of the past half-century, Prognosis.
