Many posts/years ago I posted the following on a uniquely Canutillo TX fixture, the Round House. I had been sent some photos of it in its prime and never got around to posting them. They needed some cleanup and cropping, so I finally did it and here they are below. Thanks to Paolo Angelini for sending them over, sorry it took so long to pop them up. Enjoy!

Been busy with some other priorities but thought I would share a couple of recent paintings I completed.

I now have a new addition to my Kress collection:

The original muse in our very own El Chuco:

El Paso’s best, better than the rest!

This fantastic example in that Tex-Mex town, home of the Alamo:

San Antonio’s Version

And now one from “West Texas”

Fort Worth’s Kress Building

I’ll post up more from a recent trip to Fort Worth tomorrow.

When I go out to shoot, I don’t have a plan.  I just wander around capturing interesting and unique things.  I have a bunch of downtown pics from back when I used to work there, so it’s interesting capturing the changes between 10 years ago and today.  There has been a surprising amount in just the last 3 to 4 years.

The Saturdays  that I’ve been going out over the last year have allowed me to move from taking random shots to, and I say this loosely…to attempting to document specific ideas, places or feelings.

This last Saturday I left with the  goal of trying to capture 2 of the same thing but in different ways.  It could be 2 pics of the same object or the same object in 2 different places:

Do Not Enter

Free Parking

Loans
