(c) 2006 Elton Houck THE SWEET LOVELY COLORS AND WARM FLOWING GEOMETRIC LINES LULL ONE TO SLEEP! THIS IS JUST..ANOTHER pretty picture with little or no social significance...and that may be true, but this work has an undercurrent to it...The title PINNED DOWN AT THE BOWLING ALLEY is a hint... for if you look closely you can see the outline of a gang wepon of choice ..the Mack-9...and add this to the subject of the piece and you realize it is a bit more violent and socially active than a mere PRETTY PICTURE! Death can happen any where at any time in today's violent society--even while bowling a strike at the local neighborhood bowling alley.
