My favorite muralist

Diego Rivera would have been 125years old today! I have been fortunate to have access to my favorite mural, "Industry" at the Detroit Institute of Art.

Telestar by the Tornados

This song has been inspirational for my painting "Pursuit"

"Telstar is a 1962 instrumental record performed by The Tornados. It was the first single by a British band to reach number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and was also a number one hit in the UK. The record was named after the AT&T communications satellite Telstar, which went into orbit in July 1962."
