I recently came into possession of narcotics a book of paintings by EM “Buck” Schiwetz, an artist who painted the Texas landscape for decades. In the future, I imagine I will share more of his images, but I just wanted to focus on this one today and get your take. What do you think of the seagulls, the seaside shanties, the brown sky?
I think it is a great painting. The sky looks like a storm is coming. Good time to be on the beach.

Hmm. I don’t see that. It was about 1970, so I don’t know if they had meth dens.

I love the way it fans out in detail from the pink-shirted person in the middle, Kerbey. It’s quite awesome. I do think I’d stare at the real painting in awe.

I’ve always loved Buck’s work. I used to have “The Schiwetz Legacy” book. He knows how to create a mood.

It’s alive with color and I like the movement with all the birds busy overhead. Good stuff. Lots going on. I was just thinking about my friend Miss Figgy and wondering how she’s doing. 😉

🤓 1994! About a boy? I’m intrigued! Doing ok. I’m editing pictures I took earlier. Trying not to get carried away with worry.

You rebuke that worry and crush it with the heel of your foot.
