Twenty (plus) years ago.I hung out at the Studio Channel Islands Artist Residence Group at what is now the CSUCI college campus in south Camarillo This was the courtyard of the artist area studios that before the late to mid 1990s 1980x was a state run sanitarium. .
SOLD---"I Heard You Were Gone"---Prints ARE Available
County Schools ran a facility where hearing testing of children and some adults took place at this captured scene. This mundane place was a challenge to capture and depict the sense of inner beauty, It met the goal to reconstruct the dumbest looking building that I could imagine. The trees now gone only depict the compassion that left there some time ago when the hearing conservatory left the premises in 2017.

Rent a tent. Set up your art. Pay the $45.00 entry fee and they will be flocking here. Yet again another art show, gone awry, No show. The First and perhaps the last. "All That Jazz and Art Show" in 2004. No one showed up. Hence the artists were pacing back and forth exclaiming , "Where the f#@k is everybody?" Painted on site looking out of my tent at the two across the walk from me at the show. To kill the wasted time I did this watercolor painting from the scene that is now the CSUCI campus.

“Jargon Concerto” is one of my finer watercolor paintings completed in 2005 from a scene taken digitally at a residence in Ojai California. This person was a nice friend and her collection of antiques was immense. We would have spirited talks about God and such. She passed away in late 2005---and I was sad at her the void she left. Another friend lost in time.
