I did this small painting on a beautiful California morning.  The sun was bright, the air was crisp and clean. and life was good.  The house belonged to an aquaintance of mine who came out and watched.  Some artists say they are bothered with onlookers, happily I am not.  I mostly enjoy talking to people and it doesn't seem to interfere with my concentration at all.  That's a good thing when I'm painting with my friend, Joyce Pike.  Paint won't come off her brush unless she talks.  Hee Hee.           Mike

A painting of a memory.   A group of CA. artists, including your's truly,  assembled at this old farmhouse to paint it and publicize it in an effort to raise money to save it from a developer.  Just like in the movies!  Well, we painted and some artists did some very nice stuff and we each contributed a little cash.  Things looked good for a while, but alas, eventually the effort failed and the property was lost.  Life goes on.     Mike
