Flatbush Avenue II

Tuesday, October 9, 2007

Here is another version of the Flatbush Avenue painting. It isn't completely finished and probably never will be. I've moved on to the next project. This was just a study to try out some different things. The colors are a bit brighter and the man in the lower left corner has changed from 'some guy' to Tom Waits. There isn't much significance to him being there, and I know my Mom certainly isn't a huge Tom Waits fan. I was listening to Heartattack and Vine for the majority of the time it took to paint the picture, and while working I decided to throw Mr. Waits in the corner.

I would also like to apologize to all three of my regular blog readers for using poor punctuation and sentence structure in many of my posts. In the past I have felt it perfectly acceptable to write as if I was speaking. For example, I got into the habit of using dashes instead of commas where I would normally pause when speaking. While it may sound fine as I read it back to myself, others may not know where to pause, or they may simply be put off by the poor sentence structure itself. From here on out I promise I will do my very best to use proper punctuation and grammar, so as not to erode the already fragile state of the English language on the internet and in text messages.
