The faces on the wall had consciousness, but no one ever suspected. The man and woman were intended to be a couple, and should have lived happily ever after on their flat surfaces, but the background shades of green were just the wrong match, drifting off towards opposite ends of the rainbow. This was a source of great distress for the woman. Her stale spinach mood was in constant dissonance with the 180 degrees of life transpiring before her. The man-face, hovering in his tranquil green, felt well at ease, totally at peace with the world. He couldn't have been more in the pink. The woman's cries for help were met with indifference. Persons standing close to her instinctively folded their arms and turned their eyes away. But the man with his green the color of Spring never missed an opportunity to proposition the stray females crossing his line of vision. The ladies were surprised, but never distressed, by the thoughts popping into their heads.

I've always felt that the worst part of high school art projects is looking at them. I will say that the display, always upstairs of the Grandstand building, was the quietest part of the whole yearly Fair I worked at -- except when there was a concert, then the noise from the images was drowned out by the noise of the crowd.
You'll notice Mary and the baby Jesus over that arms-folded guy's shoulder. I wonder what the omen is.
This ambience looks very much Latino to me!... And the face on the left as background some sort of political icon I ignore... The face on the right with that red stain reminds me of Warol... But... actually the question came to me as well.. what's that religiousness doing in this pic? That was what lead me to think of Latino ambience... :)

For some reason I thought of Lichtenstein when I saw the portraits. I also noticed the Mary/Jesus statue but decided not to use it in the story. Perhaps I should have. They could have tried and failed to impart their peace upon her.
Classic Inde!
