Water Towers cont'd

"Jamieson Rock and Roll Farm" acrylic on canvas, eighteen by twenty four inches,

{SOLD}

I've realized it's not as much about the water tower as it is coming up with something cool to vandalize it with, which is a case of art imitating life, if you think about this kind of stuff, I do ,so you do't have to.

I'm a dog person myself but a nice orange cat can bring a touch of warmth to any small town.

New Feature Song Stuck In my Head "My Friends " by The Red Hot Chili Peppers, I can't stand this song, I think it was playing at lockbuster today when I purchased a copy of "Munich" a movie about the Hulk and James Bond killing Palestinians , which is an odd premise for a film.
