This week’s art is an acrylic still life, on illustration board. It depicts a scene I accidentally grabbed a photo of in Chicago last month.  It’s just two cups, half-filled with coffee, hanging out on Ohio Street, just off Michigan Avenue.

I’ve actually had this on my desk for over a month, waiting to be finished. I got in late Sunday from Winterfest, and decided that it looked done enough, even though I’ll probably go back and tame that blue on the lady’s pants in the background at some point.

And I guess since people and things in the background were moving, it’s not really a still life, but the focus is supposed to be the cups, which were decidely non-animated.

Over in radioland, Monday beginning at 2 PM on The AIR, we bring new episodes of 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.

The problem is, I’ve been gone all weekend, and had a message that they will send the episodes to me, along with descriptions, Monday by Noon, my time. And that means I have no idea what will be on either show until hours after this post goes live.

So tune in for the FUN OF DISCOVERY!

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 some funny stuff on a random classic episode of The Comedy Vault.

Tonight at 9 PM for the Monday Marathon we bring you ten hours of live local music from The AIR archives.
