Signal Service Station Acrylic 24x48
About a week ago I started a painting from an old photograph of Signal Service Station in Kalama. There were two simular photos, both were pretty cool, on seemed to be from the 50's I'm guessing, and the other was obviously older, with a model T (?) parked out front.

I took her card for a starting place, drew up something similar and checked it with her. She liked the plan, so I got a sheet of hardi backer, cut it down to a 3' x 3' piece, then into a circle…

Decorative Arts
Well, I'm thinking that all the spare energy and extra time I have (that's a joke) is going to go into investigating freelance Decorative Art. I joined IDAL and CAG this week, and I'm going to start grabbing up as much training as I can get my hands on.
