Tim McGrain had a local band called “Three Boxes” back in the 80s. When we were talking with Pete the other day about his band, he reminded me of “The House,” a local band in the 60s. That is a great name. I’m still thinking about this one and may just go with “Untitled.” “Government Secrets” is a possibility. The boxes are glued shut.
I had all these paint colors pre-mixed. The box on the left is the color of the outside of our house, something called “Burnished Pewter.” I like it because it looks like a dull Army green. I always have flat black on hand—my favorite color—and the orange-red is as close as I could come to matching the main color in our living room rug. I bought a pint of it during the pandemic when I was playing with the motifs in our carpet, something I was calling “Carpet Gaze,” but it will just remain in sketch form.
