der ferne Klang

this revision I think is done.  found Lenny talking on youtube about getting the Vienna Phil to play Mahler for the first time.  an uphill battle that certainly paid off big... the emotions...  wow!

I love the Belgian Painter, Constant Permeke who lived in Ostend... painted the North Sea mostly.  there's an honesty to his work that really wasn't the kind of thing the Nazis liked.  they forbid him to paint during the occupation.  when I was 15 I thought Turner was the greatest thing... It's funny how you want to choose your influences, but your influences choose you...

nobody said it was going to be easy.

actual size is just over 4" across the bottom. this is my Santa Fe phase.  i never lived there but waited tables in a place with that vibe on the UWS.  these things are indelible.  I started this fresh on sat. afternoon trying to make a suitable card for a party.  this didn't make the cut but with some extra work on sunday...

Klang

seeing what sticks.  this used to be paisley...
