This victorian era house flanks the area I call the Twilight Zone, on Hill street in Ventura. It remembered the painting done by Edward Hopper. I set up in the field across the railroad tracks to do the painting. During the painting, the owner of the house came outside and sat on the porch. Someone upstaires peeked out the window, then flashed their red lazer pointer on me, making me want to hit the deck. After recovering from the thought of being shot, I gave a hollar, and he put it away. I still decided to document the experience by adding that dash of red.

Painting exhibited at my Carniegie Art Museum Show.
