Old York Street Kitchen

8 x 10 inches - oil on gessoboard - In Stratford, there used to be a lunch counter on York Street and while you could get a table inside if you were lucky, it was better to take a sandwich at the window and eat it in the park across the street. The business has moved to another location in the town but the building is still there and posed some challenges to paint.  I was trying to get the look of old brick without having to paint every brick.

Old Spanish Town

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard.  My reference for this came from Google streetview. I have never been to this place, an ancient town in Spain called Segovia, but it looks intriguing. Maybe some day. Until then surfing is a good way to find interesting places to paint.
