The Big Boy
56"x 44" oil on canvas ••• The original "Bob's" was located in Glendale, California—my hometown. It went from being a 10-stool hamburger stand to a drive-in restaurant. I would not say that my family went there on a regular basis, but we went enough to lodge memories of the young waitresses coming out and hanging food trays on the doors of our huge family station wagon. • That restaurant is long gone, but the statue in my painting is still out in front of the oldest remaining Bob’s Big Boy in America. It is located in Burbank, California and is still open for business.

Señor Fish
30"x 30" oil on canvas ••• Last summer, I had eight small pieces in the Cityscape Show at the George Billis Gallery/LA. Those pieces helped guide me when it came time to paint the larger versions that are in my current show (see below for show details). In some instances, I chose to alter the larger piece, sometimes not. The most common changes are formatting and composition; A piece might change from being a square to a rectangle for example. "Señor Fish" is an example of one that did not really change much, if at all. (I included the smaller piece here so you could see.) I admit that I have a penchant for increasing my skies (they are a playground for my color work), but the composition of the small "Señor Fish" seemed rock solid to me, so I stuck with the square format. • I have made a short video for this piece that shows more details and posted it on my YouTube channel. You do not need to sign up to YouTube to view videos, just click on the link below and take a look. ••• I hope you enjoy it!

Rod's Ice
40"x 40" oil on canvas ••• You may remember Rod's Ice from an earlier email. That piece was an 8" x 8" and it worked out so well that I produced a 40" x 40" version of it. • This piece, along with many others, was in Local Icons, my solo show at the George Billis Gallery/LA. • I know I often show you detail shots, but this time I want to try something new. I have made a short video for this piece that I have posted on YouTube. You will be the first to know of its existence and, hopefully, the first to view it. Click on the link to go to YouTube and view it.
