A Slice of Americana - May 25, 2014

I think I'm finished with this current abstract piece.  I have it laying in another room getting completely flat again.  I've signed it, which is a good sign it is at least near completion.  Anything I do to it now is just clean-up.  Actually, it is a realist piece of work; it just appears abstract in reality.  I'm ready to move on.  I have two unfinished pieces that I need to finish.  But I am hankering to start something new.  It is a beautiful morning here and would be a perfect day to either take photos or set up a still life.  I have a new documentary to watch which I am looking forward to adding to my review page.   For your perusal today I have chosen another building from downtown.  I have a lot of these. I only took photos of the second floor.   I wondered how many locals could actually tell me where these buildings are located with just a view of the second floor.  Like in the movie ALIEN…we never look up.  Of course this one is rather easy.  Keep score and see how well you do.   Just a different angle on our hometown.  If you are not from here, I think you will still enjoy my photos of our charming little slice of Americana.    Back to my brushes.
