JUNK YARD
Here is a golden oldie from about 6 months ago. This is the inside of a used car parts place, a little more organized that the usual junkyard. This place is near the LA river just north of Chinatown. The guy turning away was doing just that because he saw I had a camera and didn't want to be photographed. Robert Williams has more that one title for his paintings, maybe the second title for this one would be: Lemmie out of here! This painting is in the running for the ray mar painting contest. I don't expect it to win, but I'm hoping to place.

Of course it's me! Are you on for the figure drawing thingy and drinks after? Will you be painting or using a pencil...?

I think I remember, but old commissions run together. Thanks for the encouragement! It's a long way form comic books to fine art. Can I talk you into becoming a landscape collector?

Urban Dan,
Bring whaever you want, I'll be doing oil. I Edited/ posted the info on this entry
Matt: Thanks for you insightful and clever comments. I know I'm doing something right when I can invoke feelings of smog nostalgia from someone who his lived the life.
Wow, thats another great painting..
I wish I lived in your area to take some of your classes. Nothing beats oils...
That's right , you can't beat them, and they kill you.

That’s a frequent comment I’ve been lucky enough to get recently. The teacher in me an interested in analysis of the ways and how comes of this nostalgic feeling, but understand how its hard to put into words. For me it’s a process of learning enough craft to depict the moment technically, having enough confidence and focus to work fast to give it energy and finally, loving the subject honestly to give it feeling. I have to have all of those things going, not ways easy, but when they merge it’s very gratifying. Hope that makes sense and doesn't sound to pompous.
Wow! I'm going crazy over the way you handled the Reflection! Wow! Wow! I'm awestruck!
I can tell from your photo!
