The Real Effect
Well, one of my nicknames and the namesake of this blog really belongs more properly to another Das brother, namely Adrian Clair Das, shortened to Adi, lengthened to Adidas, which, of course, is the company named after one Adolf "Adi" Dassler, whose brother, Rudolf, quarrelled with him so severely that he set up the rival shoe company Puma in the very same town, a town which, until very recently, had a feuding vibe much like Verona or Sicily. An amazing story. But, I digress.
At any rate, Adi or Pastor Adrian or Reverend Das, in addition to excellent sermonizing and sensitive counseling also has knack with the watercolors. Now, he may be a little annoyed that I have chosen to post what in essence is a practice piece in which he was practicing using salt to make those delicate little snowflakes, and yet this is a piece which I loved and begged him to give to me, and which now hangs in my room. Nor, did I have the time to take the best photo of it, but I think I worked the dials on my editing program enough to do it justice.
I like the painting so much because even in its rough unfinished form it captures a type of day I love. So, here without further ado is the painting. The second version, serendipitously, is what happened when I tried the auto correct feature on this work. It looked so much like a glowing, dream-like night version of the same scene, that I thought I would post it as well.
