Stable of the "King"....

                                     8x10  Open acrylics


What a great time at the King/Gillette Ranch with The Allied Artists painting group.  They "paint-out" on the 2nd Saturday of each month at some of the most beautiful places I have never seen that are right in my back yard.  Really talented painters and thanks for letting me tag along.  The ranch was designed for the Gillette [as in shaving"] estate owner, then passed to a Hollywood director who used the ranch for great parties and premiers - even putting in a small air strip so they could fly to the "distant" location from LA.  Total distance - about 40 miles.  This was the famous Neff designed stable from the back side.  It offered the best shadowed surfaces to me, so here it is.  90 minutes on location and 30 in the studio to finish.  Fun day and enjoyed the painting.
