"It's Basil Time"

Sold
I woke up at 3 am this morning. I had the basil painting on my mind. I can't help but think of that song by the "Flight of the Concords"--It's Business Time. Thus--Its Basil Time. Basil Hours are over--baby.
This was an interesting session in the studio. The smell of the basil was in competition with the turpentine.
