Sometimes change hurts.
Back in 1992, I watched them paint this DKNY mural in Soho. I worked in the neighborhood and saw it every morning. (Soho in Manhattan.) I always liked it, and it grew on me after 9/11.

Abercrombie and Fitch now leases the building. I walked by last week just as they finished painting over the mural. It's now a large black wall.

Do you know that Dad used to paint billboards? I remember seeing him on a scaffold in Omaha working on one. It's a special skill because the viewer sees the finished product from below, so perspective can be off if the artist doesn't take that into account. I got the feeling he enjoyed doing it. ME
Mom told me that he painted billboards while he was in medical school. I'd love to have seen some of those. I've only seen the few paintings of his that we had in the house growing up.
