Barbershop Caboose, 8x6 oil pastel with colored pencil 7-9-15

A group of us decided to head over to Carroll University and meet in the union's parking lot at East Ave and Wright. Due to summer school the lot was full so we drove down the hill on East Avenue to the parking lot near the used bookstore. Not very interesting scenery there so we headed over to Estacion Restaurant area.

We met Butch, an 88 year old Barber who still cuts hair Tuesday - Saturday mornings. He works in a caboose. So I decided to paint his caboose as a memory of meeting him. While we were sitting in front of the 400 club where Les Paul played guitar a semi truck made a delivery at the club. Talked to the driver a little after he went across the street to talk with Butch and get his hair cut. Butch cut his hair pretty fast.

John made a panel holder for his left handed guerilla box that he uses when painting acrylics.









Here's my painting steps and the colors used.

I thought these arches were very interesting.
