It looks like a painting of a classic sculpture on a stucco wall.

However if you look at the last 3 shots, you will see the left corner peeling. It reveals brick.

Is the medium really thick pealing paint, or an incredibly well done paste-up?

Adonis, the god of beauty and attraction is the male counterpart for Aphrodite.

He looks even prettier surrounded by the tags and mayhem of Graffiti Alley.

This piece sings for a neo-classic music composition. I have chosen fellow blogger Trent McDonald’s “Piano Sonata in g minor lll: Scherzo” done on a Garritan virtual Steinway software piano.

“A few years back I decided to compose a “classical style” piano sonata. By “classical style”, I am talking late 18th/early 19th century. More specifically, I was thinking Beethoven. I had already composed a sonatina that is very Clementi in style, so it was time for the Big B.

This was the Scherzo, which was a “little joke”. Deep down there is an almost minuet hidden, but you’d have to dig deep to find it. No, “little joke” describes it much better. I always really like it, almost as much as the scherzo to my sonata in c# minor, which is what I use for my phone’s ringtone. ”
