9/28 'CJ's'
I still haven't had a burger at CJ's! I'm always busy painting it. CJ's is on Hwy 95 north of Taylors Falls, almost to Almelund on the way to North Branch. I hear that the burgers are good. Some more orange light, can't get away from it. A quaint place to paint, I enjoyed the time in their parking lot.

Nice to see the comparison.
I am curious what brushes you use in these small paintings. I'm especially interest in how you obtain the whispy transitions between colors. I use egberts, but never seem to be satisfied with my transition areas. I'll just keep practicing.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Ray I'm using filberts or worn out flats that are nearly filberts now. More than the brush is a very light hand. Sometimes I feel like I'm wielding a wand that I very softly pass over the surface that I want to soften or make less contrasting in some way. For paintings this small we're talking fingertip control.
I'm using #3 to #6 brushes with the occasional Langnickle Royal Sable to soften ridges in the paint to prevent glare in the darks.
Thanks for the comments.
Your work is wonderful. It evokes the feeling of quite solitude - like Hopper's work.
Interesting --I had assumed you were using mostly Langnickles.
I love seeing both scenes.
