When I was working on this one, a worker from the fumigation company came over and asked if I was “that guy from Instagram who paints the tents.”
How to Stop Time
I’m working on a series of pictures of this spot. It’s a hike from anywhere you can park. They’ve recently installed a 3 way stop here, which has had the weird effect of making the spot seem much busier than when it was just a stretch of 50 MPH road. It alternately smells like exhaust and like growing things.
When I painted this one, the wildflowers were in full bloom. I went back today to do another piece as the landscape dries out and becomes the brown, gold, and tan of California summer. Both those plein air paintings are preparatory studies for larger pieces.

Ghost Baguette and Bundts
A kind person gave me an entire box of miniature bundts to eat/paint. They went with a ghost baguette. Let them eat cake, you know.

Stop Sign, Los Alamos
I’d wanted to paint an enormous twisty old oak (or whatever) but it didn’t go right. I liked the stop sign.
