Circus Vargas From Grant Park

This is one of my favorite paintings of late because the angle and changes I made to make it the painting I prefer to see. 8 x10" oil on Canvas board

California Survey Trailer

I am always surprised by how easy it is to overlook good subjects to paint that are close to home. This old trailer is a mere block away, but it took me three years to discover it. I like the fact that it has weeds growing around it, old wooden steps to the doors and is situated on a big lot. I did have to paint it looking through a chain link fence, but I had a shade tree to set up under. 10 x 12" oil on board

Ave Truck

8x10 o/c

Pierpont Restaraunt

I painted this Mexican restaraunt early in the morning. It is in Pierpont, Ventura, California. Wish I would have moved the palm tree over a little bit. Met some cool locals while painting it.

Catering Truck On Thompson Blvd.
