This week’s art is a small acrylic painting that’s more of a rescued doodle than it is a study or anything.

I was just doodle painting a sky, a red sky at morning time to be exact (hence the title), and I was so happy with the end result that I decided to throw in some detail around it: a few buildings, a road, some mountains, all painted in a semi-Hopperesque dawn sheen.

I wasn’t consciously thinking of any place in particular, but Mel says it reminds her of a summer visit to Snowshoe we took over a decade ago.  She may be right. I tend to retain images, but suck with names and timeframes.

Anyway, I figured it was good enough to share here. It doesn’t really symbolize anything. It’s okay sometimes if art just looks purty.

Over in radioland,  the plan is to have new shows all week long to make up for my computer issues causing us to not have so many in March.

Monday beginning at 2 PM on The AIR, we bring new episodes of Nigel Pye’s Psychedelic Shack, and 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.

As you can see in the playlists below, Herman and Nigel have delivered two excellent shows.  Nigel brings us his usual expertly-curated capsule of pure psychedelic glee, while Herman presents a mixtape collection of the post-YES music of their original guitarist, Peter Banks.

Check out the playlists…
