More Pink House
Here's another bite of pink. Too big a bite? Sorry. If we don't take big bites, we'll never get through it.

I like this composition...although I am NOT sure about the telephone wires even after listening to your rational for leaving them in. Right now I need to see beauty to balance out the daily exposure I have to an environment which is definitely not beautiful. Thomas Kincaide takes the pursuit of beauty too far, however.

20 years ago I always "left out" evidence of man in a landscape. Now, I feel a thrill when I see an otherwise gorgeous landscape but with some kind of ugly manmade contraption, structure, or just rusting carcass. Especially if it obliviously runs straight through the center of the scene. I feel it clearly illustrates our relationship with our planet. As for Thomas Kinkade...don't you DARE malign one of my artist heroes.
I also like the idea of leaving in man-made constructions, both beautiful and distasteful. Why make reality something other than it is? Your drawings of rusting cars and other junk in Texas is a good example. Furthermore, it reminds me of the shipwreck photos from Edward Burtynsky. It is also why I dislike the type of historical painting that took place in the 18th Century. See Jose Arguelles's book "The Transformative Vision". Those paintings are nothing but myths and don't represent 18th Century reality.
