On lunch hour sometimes I drop by the bakery on Harley street for some sandwiches on their great onion buns. Today was Cajun chicken and smoked meat. To eat I found a concrete block nearby the field where I painted the chairs this Spring. I saw another chair in the field... there seems to be a demand for a park here where one could sit. Instead, the scene of the auto shop with its interior garage visible made the subject of this painting. There were many layers of objects including parked cars, dumpster, the interior with its track lights, and a large tree and apartment building in the background. The bricks were not this dark, they were a mix of PY43 + PB60 + PR179 but needed more water and more yellow tint. The owner of the car in the foreground came out of the garage to get something out of the trunk and glanced at me, probably wondering why this guy was making of a painting of an auto shop.
