Description:
"This is St. Paul's and St. Andrew's Methodist Church on 86th Street and West End Avenue of Manhattan. The sky has five layers of blue. the glowing doughnuts all over the sky are elves. Elves are leftover from the night before. I painted the night before, in a painting of the Con Ed building. In that painting the sky had the jellyfish-shaped blob, sprites and jets. In this painting it is the morning after and there are only elves. You can read about sprites, jets and elves in the article from Science News on the back of this description. The three very pale lavender mint and yellow zigzagging objects are lightning. They look white but they are three different pastels. I made up this kind of lightning because I see them when I have migreine. the third and forth layers of the sky, couting up from the bottom, are wider than the night before, in the other painting. That night there was a band of cloud, but it disappeared in this painting.
This church is old. There are many broken pieces, dented metal and broken window panes. If you look at the outer border of round windows, you can see the broken area in two places. there are also some broken pieces in the scallop section below the windows in the tower. There is a missing face above the center window. If you look further up, you can see five red faces. this is the second version of the Church of St. Paul and St. Andrew. The first version has a cloudy sky and different colors."
