I've been framing pics today, for the Visually Impaired Persons Support Center show tomorrow, 9 am to 4 pm, had this sale to partner of one rejected from Spring Show, took the two back from last show, took in the three for Sping Show, tired of art I decided to take a break, see a real show, with art by Angry F on the walls. I'm working on my follow up to my letter to the editor of the Modesto Bee yesterday of the idea of that train and hwy 33 overpass into that park in Patterson in front of City Hall, like Bambi meets Godzilla and how to draw that one out..... so was ready from some time at DEVA. compare my shots to Efren J's.

I live downtown, and sometimes people catch me painting out on the front porch, like my mail man. This week, happened to have canvas and that box of acrylics I don't use too often, and .... well, they're new.
