#16 S.F Giants Dollarshot
The dollar furnace, Yellow mellow...
#20 Dollar furnace, Mellow Yellow
Inspiring this poem to keep things in perspective....
Heart on sleeve, The Furnace meets yellow, vulnerable art from a British Fellow, the engine running all the time, calming yellow, hints of lime, intersecting 
❤️’s up top, joining, beating, never stop. Dollar signs just off the water, number 20 hits the quarter, 1 a day for 80 days, keeps me painting through the haze, climbing high up to the steeple, surrounded by such awesome people!
The American River painted at, well, The American River...
#26 The American River
& the visit to Folsom prison where I painted a couple of originals inspired by one of my childhood heroes, Johnny Cash who sang there live some 50 years earlier....
Walking the line at Folsom prison - "No you can't paint here, Sir" so off we went up the hill nearby....
From work in progress to the studio....
#27 Nine at Folsom State Prison
A funny thing with the Folsom State prison Logo....
It's dollar-esque style, inspiring Folsom prison blues....
#28 Folsom prison blues
One thing is for sure leaving Folsom prison left me with such gratitude....
With this Johnny Cash mash up playing....
Above all, it's been a brilliant start to the first third of the Californian collection as Art tells a story in vulnerable glory and it's been great partnering with CB Photography & Videography...
Recording the first 30 with professional help - great to put the pause button on!
A man with a fine taste for music aswell as photography!
