Abandoned Storehouses

Late March 2007

This is the picture I set out to paint a few days earlier - when it started raining and I was forced under cover to paint "A Rainy End". This is a picture I had wanted to be able to paint all winter, but it was just too cold.
This one older fellow saw me painting these buildings, and he told me something like his brother owns them. He walked by and invited me in for tea every 45 minutes or so, but he drove away on an errand just as I was finally finishing up.
An older woman came by to watch me once, and once again with her grandchildren.
The very friendly guy who runs the popular grilled meat shop in my old town also walked by. He took pictures of me working on this and put them up on his website.
