Why these three?

This is like the Sesame Street game "which of these three is not like the other?".

Bartlett on the Green

I've been reading/looking at the Itten book The Elements of Color and started mixing a lot of paint. Sometimes I will look at my palette and then wander around the house to see if I can make something out of some really cool color I've mixed. The science of art was really my initial attraction to painting in the first place. There was some article in Scientific American ( which is usually pretty dry stuff) that talked about certain colors can actually influence human behavior in a direct way. Its like in music when they talk about the "black chord" ( you know listening to some Rush song can make some people take off their clothes and wriggle around on the salad bar at Wendy's).

Bing on Blue

Bing on Blue is like the name of a great late 50's Bing Crosby jazz album. There's a real one called Bing Sings whilst Bregman Swings that is fantastic. Buddy Bregman had a real crash-boom-swingy arrangement and Bing did his thing. The best on this album ( and one of my favorite "Der Bingle" songs ever is his cover of Johnny Mercer's classic Jeepers Creepers .

Okay, a word on Bing Crosby. I love Bing...a lot. There's a scene in Road to Morocco where he's looking for Bob Hope ( who he sold for food money...), and he's singing his way through the streets of Morocco as he does it. The best part is...He's wearing a fez and...He looks really cool in it!
