Recycling-bin Blue

Yes, that is BLUE, not Blues.  Although, someone took our Green Bin–but I don’t have the blues about that, the new one will be lighter and smaller.

Actually my new color is –
recycling bin blue.  There is something in the quality and angle of sun light right now–the primary blue vibration is visible to me everywhere.  Thanks, I think, to the Red Wall!  It is so empowering.

What I have, is a shock of color brought on by the combination of a new, loud Red Wall at the screenprint shop, courtesy of Ann Wright Designs.  I have just this morning had a massive head-shift, and have a whole new color scheme in my head!  See how my blue painting flashes into life !  This painting has a flash of orange along the horizon where the last rays of the sun hit the edge of the mountain and a lensing effect spreads orange light under the clouds— thusly:

I had gone for a literal black trim, white walls,  gray floor thing, accenting what was already there, which was safe, but kind of cold, and old.  Ann brought over 12 quarts of different shades she thought I would like.  Soft lime, mustard, mocha, light yellow, etc.  Here’s a photo of what we ended up with.

 

A technical note-  I have my camera in letterbox mode, and I can’t get the photo to format any way but this configuration–whatever it’s called–squeezing the image into a small box.

The Baltic in April

The Possum Family Singers return to host a quasi-open mic and after-hours blues-jam free-for-all at the Baltic Bar and Restaurant, 135 Park Place, behind the Mechanic’s Bank Train Station in Beautiful Point Richmond, California.  That would be this coming Thursday, April 12, 2012, 7:30- 10 PM, no cover, great food and a full bar soaked with history, and possible thunderstorms. 

Under the Porch

It’s been raining so hard all the ‘Possum ‘Puters have been too wet to Post.  Rain!  What is that stuff??  Ever so timidly we ventured out Saturday to re-enter the Starry Plough, newly committed to the Saturday Starry Plough Happy Hour Circkle–Kudos to visiting Yard Sale accordionista and mystery guests from Madison Wisconsin for clapping for every song.  The locals are so jaded, but true fans come late and buy another pitcher—so we stay on for cheebies–Let's give the Band a Hand!  or twowell into the soundcheck until our little ears tremble  .  . .
