David and Goliath


This David and Goliath scene is a block away from the Pasadena Central Library, one of my favorite hangouts. The colorful building is a barbecue shack set against the backdrop of a chain hotel. The BBQ joint was there long before the hotel, and I suspect it will be there when the hotel is converted into a shopping center before it is converted into condominiums.


I stood in the shade of a large tree across from the courthouse to do this painting. Whenever I paint in this area, I get looks from passing police and undercover officers, whose station is in this area. Only once did one stop. We had a very friendly conversation.
