This one is very beautiful; great blue and I like the word as well.

Thanks, Harrie. One friend says the word is “Uber,” a kind of taxi service in the U.S. But I think it may be the beginning of “Oberlin,” the town in Ohio. We’ll never know for sure.

To me it looks like an ‘o’, and then ‘ober’ sounds pretty German to me…

Well, “ober” translates to “upper” in English, and “über” (with the umlaut) translates to “about,” so either way, it could be German that someone forgot to use the umlaut on. I suppose it could be someone’s name, too . . .

Thank you, Peter. I guess it is a painting of sorts.

I thought all of these dumpster shots were “paintings of sorts.”

You’re really right, Alan. They are all paint on a metal substrate. When there is rust or paper or plastic stickers, they might be considered mixed media.

I think you’re right, it looks more like an interrupted “O” than a “U.” In any case, what a nice sheen, how very coooool the palette is, and how expressive the gestures.

It would be really weird if this were the beginning of “Oberlin.” It’s just something I like to think. On the other hand, the cloud shape with rain coming out of it is very Oberlin-like! These colors really are cool, aren’t they. Chilly even.
