I took a slight detour over the weekend. I popped on over to Monrovia, CA to attend an artist friend’s show, William Wray. I discovered his work about 2 years ago on his blog and I really enjoyed seeing all his work on display together. It was good to chat with him and see his paintings which depict mostly run down rural areas of Southern California; finding the beauty in things that often are considered un-beautiful or in his words “Dirty Beauty”. Great show Bill!
You can see more of his work on his blog.

Blogger meets blogger. Good for you guys for making a cool cyber connection.
William Wray’s comments on the LA Times articles are spirited and engaging. I just responded to one, then he responded back. *S*
His loosely representational manner of painting seems so fluid and natural. He has that gift.
