Donuts Back Door

 8"x10" oil on canvas ••• This is one of many cityscape "studies" I have been working on in a—so far—futile attempt to figure out what I might want to paint larger. • This diminutive back door scene of a donut shop in Fillmore, California, with its austere composition and subtle tonal challenges, presents me with so many headaches that I may take it larger. There is nothing like a painting that purposefully antagonizes you from the easel to get your creative juices (and swearing) flowing.
