...short Renoir stage, he managed to get the soft wispy effect in his tree leaves by dabbing on latex paint with an ordinary shaving brush. When he was under the Turner influence, he found he could create raging waves by running a dry thumb across Sherwin-Williams Aqua...
...Tahoe's Kings Castle Hotel has already installed them in its luxury suites. Playboy Tycoon Hugh Hefner has one-king-size, of course, and covered with Tasmanian opossum. The growing number of manufacturers and distributors, with such appropriate names as Aquarius Products, the Water Works, Innerspace Environments, Joyapeutic Aqua Beds and the Wet Dream, can hardly meet the demand.

Alex Packer's "Blues Progression" is a similar investigation of a hue family on a flat plane. His acrylics run from red-violet through aqua. But Packer's three-paneled work attributes more importance to form than does James Brown's-stripes end in curved edges, and three vertical stripes are halved in the last panel, leaving a blue one erect in solitary splendor. And Peter Sutton's "Homage a Picasso," one in oils, goes...
