Verdugo Park Painting

I went to Verdugo Park and did some painting practice after a long time. It was great to meet a few other artist and enjoy their inspiring work today, none more so than my awesome sidekick, who made the last two pieces. He teaches me a lot with each new exploration. There is a beautiful boldness to how he applies color, line and shape.
