Transmissions from the Satellite Heart

Here is an example of why an artist shouldn't commit to the painting-a-day craze. Like reality TV, this project can backfire when the artist feels obligated to show his warts: this painting stinks! But I figured I'd post it, because I may complete a larger work based on this study - plus, nobody reads this anyway.

I went up to the studio this morning with nothing in mind, so I picked a photo off the floor and started to paint. Maybe a second go will produce better results.

I'LL BLAME IT ON THE MUSIC...
Transmissions from the Satellite Heart by the Flaming Lips.
This is the record that produced their only hit (so far): "She Don't Use Jelly." The liner notes recommend that the listener "...play all tracks at maximum volume," so that's how I listen to it.

To purchase this painting (should you ignore my review) see my web site and/or email me.
