Amnesiac

This is a ripoff of a painting I did a couple of months ago (my apologies to the one who purchased that piece). Sometimes when I'm not too sure about myself, I do a small piece similar to something I've done before - to get back into that comfort zone. Unfortunately, it usually comes out wrong and reinforces the self-doubt. But this time it turned out nicely, particularly the sky. The subject is a soybean field up the road, but it sorta looks like Africa, doesn't it?

I WAS LISTENING TO...
Amnesiac by Radiohead.
Nothing like some Radiohead to reinforce one's paranoia and sense of alienation - I mean, if one is inclined toward such conditions. This is a fine album and probably too much overlooked. Wet your feet with "I Might Be Wrong," then move on to "Knives Out" and "Life in a Glasshouse." If you can stomach those, you just might like the whole thing. [Note to Coldplay fans: Listen to this band to hear the real thing.]

To purchase the painting, go to my web site and/or email me.
