Gotcha Covered: Seabrush Painting

“I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.”

Vincent van Gogh 1853-1890








Although we used very low odor “green” paint by Pittsburgh Paints, the remarkable thing about the interior painting was not the painting itself but the young men who did the work. These young people really give me hope for the future. They work hard and well all day. They are thoughtful in the literal sense of the word: Considering life and behaviors, goals and dreams, and the difference between right and wrong / good and bad. I got to know two of the guys, Josh and Mike, rather well. Kyle was here fewer times, so I wasn’t able to talk as much with him, but I would like to. There’s something about the three of them that makes you want to sit down and hear what they have to say.

Mike and Josh have a band called Atriumantra. I heard some of their music online and liked what I heard. Theirs is not a genre that is in my vocabulary, but I definitely heard some good musicianship and a lot of intriguing variations in rhythm and sounds. These guys have something of value to tell the world, and Vince and I are listening.
