Hippies at The Outpost, Acrylic on Paper, 2015

There is a small store somewhere along the Salmon River in Northern California which makes the most awful sandwiches but attracts the most interesting crowds.

This is one such grouping. Hippies, or hipsters, I never could decide which. The dude was too clean to be a hippie, the girl too dirty to be a hipster, and the third wheel? Never did get a good look.

At least the dog was friendly.

If that could be called a dog. I’ve always liked this composition, but that dog bugs me to this day…

I'm posting every painting I have ever done from 2014 to the present, the good, the bad, and the ugly. With an occasional photograph and sketch thrown in just to mix things up. Check back daily to see my progressio as an "artist"!

I really like that picture. Unlike most people who post on Steemit, I was actually around in the late 60s. That was my time. You catch the spirit best with the dude in shades. And the dog...maybe not technically perfect, but you do capture the mood. The dog looks comfortable.

Looks like this picture must have been fun to paint. Fun to look at.

I just saw "Salmon River in Northern California", and I had to click. I cycled through there last year on my trip from Canada to Mexico, and have wonderful memories of that corner of the world. Of course I remember how the locals feel about the place, so I won't even discuss any specifics of whats and wheres. Though I do remember an "outpost" among other things. Not the sandwiches (possibly the coffee...?) but an interesting crowd is a given anyway.
If you're interested, take a look at this post, and this one, and even this one where I wrote about my time in that area.
Enjoy,

I like this. It reminds me of the 70s.

Nice observation about the place that turned into an art. Wished I can do art just like you. Gonna be watching for your artworks that you will publish.
