Recently re-opened as a pub with a good range of beers. Back in the sixties this place was so down at heel that it made the 'Weavers' look posh. The retention of the period detail suggests that a look inside will be well worth while, that and the fact that I can see through those big clear windows that it has three real ales plus Pilsner Urquell on tap.

I'm doing some pieces specifically for a show that benefits some beautification projects in my neighborhood. These are sketches for larger paintings.

I guess this style works in dry climate. Carroll Aveue must have been the quietest place I've eperienced in more crowded areas of L.A.
