Brian Flinn
The Parson’s Second Wife.
The first impression of Brian Flinn’s work may be of humor. Some of his figures have the out-of-proportion features of cartoons, the odd poses, the uneven faces. But there’s detail within the comedy, layers of images on the skins of his subjects. There’s an eye that’s startlingly human. The other eye, upon closer inspection, isn’t an eye at all. The layering makes the skin seem translucent. Or maybe the body is in flux. Take another step back, and the image seems more like a flickering film. Maybe if you turned away and looked back again, it would be a different image entirely.

Among other land transactions, a sale has been completed of the Lesley Roy studio in Westville Village, where an agency aimed at foster children plans to take over.

A Westville cop caught a man who swiped a purse out of the back seat of a car involved in a crash. A carpet-cleaning company employee swindled a customer out of an $8,000 rug, while another scammer (“Andrew Williams”) used the internet to bilk a Westville woman out of $500.

“Over the last few weeks, we have seen a decrease in car break-ins. This has been achieved by a partnership between the police and the community to address this uptick. The police have increased patrols, and arrested car thieves while residents have provided me with video footage (used to ID perps and help pinpoint areas to deploy resources) and remembered to lock their vehicles. Let’s keep it up!”

Police arrested a babysitter for allowing a 2‑year-old boy to wander alone in West Hills. And thieves on Blake Street made off with a Chinese delivery order after at least simulating having a handgun.
