  2. Preliminary location scouting: 36th Ave overpass and train tracks

    Robbinsdale, Minn. April 7, 2013

    This is the location I’m hoping to use for a future painting.  Just wanted to see how things looked for now but I’ll have to come back here once the surroundings start to look more like spring/summer.  So May or June?

  3. Robbinsdale, Minn. April 7, 2013

    Ventured out on a preliminary location scouting trip for a future painting.  The location I’m interested in is of a bridge overpass (seen in the last picture in this set) but I want to come back to it once things actually start to look more like spring/summer, which could be awhile.  Here’s what I found along the way, including a super creepy discarded baby doll.

  4. White Bear Lake, Minn. November 2012

    Results of today’s photo hunting trip.  I’ve got an idea in mind but not sure if these’ll work for what I’m thinking.  Also it was really cold outside and I didn’t wear any gloves.

  5. On the back burner: photos I haven’t used for paintings yet, not sure if I’ll use them or not..

    Pasadena, California, Oct. 2010
