Valley Bus

























One of the little oil paintings, this one 9"x12", that I did in Palomar class '03...from photo taken in '94?, '90? while on vacation...it was evening, and photo is black and white, so I added colors, and somehow got them right, as the Falls and Trees and Walls look like this at very last light, in the gloaming...sunny hazy warm...early today, checked the mail, sat on the front step with Pooch, and took note of the construction of the garden furniture in my neighbor's across the way frontyard...'that might work for a picnic table', I got to thinking, and did some sketching while at Denny's, returned, thought some more, by now, thinking up furniture for the whole house...really need furniture!...and went online for ideas, and that's been it, it for all day!...watching one youtube diy furniture clip after another...last one, how to make a five board bench, went on for ever, but fellow making it would pepper the narration with all manner of woodworking lore...I find these homespun woodworking youtubes like a bag of cheetos, or chips with dip...in fact, I'll leave off a bit, get a snack, and bring back snacks, and watch some more!...
oh...the discerning will note I included the rock slide scar above the hanging valleys, and the Bus is from way before the current electric hybrids, which are all over Town now too...
