Got the tractor tire down at 23rd Ave. and Deer Valley ($13 cash), met Dave Daiss for lunch at Tonto Bar & Grill at Rancho Manana. We both had half a cobb and iced tea ($25 biz account). Talked quite a bit about Empire Ranch down by Sonoita and how to preserve it.
Went home and unloaded the tractor tire, whipped out a series of sketches on He Who Straddled Two Different Worlds. This is a theme I have painted before, but I have some better reference this time:
Here's Levi Miles posing for the Straddling painting I want to do. Good rocks and angle (taken at San Carlos), have a better image but I'm not going to share it just yet. Wanted to convey the basic idea.
