“I am always aware of the impermanence of street painting. Wind, sun, dirt, and rain constantly remind me as I work of the very fleeting nature of this type of painting. All day long, as I’m creating a new part of the picture, I can see the finished parts already fading. It’s a challenge to retouch the picture and keep it fresh for spectators. I’m not disappointed when the painting washes away because street painting is performance art, it’s very much like attending a symphony. When the music ends everyone leaves with a memory of the music. My work is the same except one is left with a visual impression. And much like musical recording helps preserve a moment, I photograph my paintings when they’re finished. ”

Looks like Diane’s got some serious face and hand sunburn. But Matt looks in the pink.
What was the location, year, season? Were you on vacation in New England, Jamaica, Christmas Island?
On a boat, in a beach cabana, a pickup buried in the sand? Give us details, man.
