In most of the world, and even the rest of the country, you can find seriously old buildings. In California, 150 years qualifies as extremely old.

This is another 12x16. I missed breakfast, and got faint with heat and/or hunger before I was finished with this. I'm not sure it was worth it. But anyhow, I've used up all my blank canvases (except one that smells like mildew.) I think I'll get smaller ones. I think I learn as much on 8x10, and I think my chances of catching and condensing a moment of beauty are every bit as good. At least for now. Until I have bigger brushes, and work faster, and find a subject that screams to be a monumental painting.

  1. I don't know, Barbara. I like this one. The composition is interesting. Maybe a sketch in preparation for another look?

    I forget to eat somethings and then wonder why I feel so odd. Realize its the beyond hungry shakes and headache. Too much of that and I can count on a migraine.

  2. I like this one, too. Light was captured effectively.

    It might be less than complete, but what's there is very good.
