On Friday, I started painting at the Peet's window, hoping that the next storm would be delayed. The sun came out occasionally, to warm the wall and it turned out to be a very pleasant day. I had a number of really nice visitors, and special nods to Frank.
As I was thinking about just the perfect dog to place below the window as I indicated in the sketch, this fellow came along with his little fashionista dog.
Seriously now, how cute is this dog?
Then, along came some competition. This little fellow wasn't at all happy about the prospect of a "big break." I started to laugh as I tried to follow him around (in circles) to get the right pose.
I was reminded of another time and place, at Jack London Square in 1996, when just as I needed a wolf for Jack's mural, a hybrid wolf showed up, as if sent by Jack. This kind of thing happens all the time to me when I'm painting. Odd. I often end up painting people into my murals, adding them spontaneously as they just happen to pass by. The Regional Transit mural has several last minute additions.
I've discovered that the Sacramento Natural Food Coop has terrifically beautiful food.
It looks like great weather for the rest of the week. Come by for a visit.
