Curt is Chicago native - but don't hold that against him. After stops in Madison and California, he moved to Waukesha in 2004 to open a downtown business.

O.K., I have to admit, the blog has really taken a turn for the worst these past couple of days.
Don’t get me wrong, I love this little city (sometimes), but things have been a little rough down here lately.
So today I am going to concentrate on something positive.
And here it is…
The fire hydrant outside of my front door was recently painted a bold yellow color- quite a change from the sultry red hue it carried for so many years.
Being that it sits in front of my art school, I was really hoping for a little style in the new paint job… perhaps a dab of impressionism or a bit of expressionism.
Instead, it reflects what I would call minimalism at best.
The one in front of the Almont Gallery has a little pizzazz though. Looks like the artists at that gallery are once again extending their creative talents to help beautify our city.
But my hydrant remains a plain yellow.
Oh well, I guess function is the key here, not artistic expression.
Van Gogh would not be proud. However, it was painted with pointed skill and attention to detail.
And Eddie, my trusty fox terrier, seems to have taken a new found interest in it.
Good thing it’s yellow…
