Sketching Gus's Grocery

Gus's Grocery is one of the best Sandwich shops in San Luis Obispo.  To call it a Grocery really is a misjustice.  Yes, you can go in and shop for a few things: chips, soda, and beer, but in reality it just a sandwich shop.  Well, not just a sandwich shop, probably the best sandwich shop in around.

Step up the the order window and give them your order.  Your sandwich will be fresh made right in front of you.  Most of the time they will slice the cheese and meat at the time they make the sandwich.  I'm partial to the Italiano.  Oh and by the way, make it a Bomber.

Well, thats it, enjoy the painting.  I had a great time painting it, and really do hope you like it.

Zion National Park, Utah

 A few pictures of Zion National Park.  I've been there many times and am always in awe of the beauty of the Park.  There are so many trails you can take, and even on a hot day you can find a canyon that is nice and cool.

I've been on the edge of cliffs with sheer dropoffs of probably a thousand feet.  I've hiked up creeks and river, under waterfalls and through small ponds.  I've also trod across trails that are so hot and dusty it seemed like I would burn up.

Here are a few sketches of Zion.  The Narrows.  The Watchman.  Angels Landing.

I can't wait until I can go back again.  it is such and amazing place.

If you are interested, I've got some videos too:
