Summit Dump–oil on gessoed board, recycled frame $800

This plein air painting was done at the Summit Transfer Station, aka the Summit Dump.  All aficionados of the dump will recognize it instantly.   I wasn’t sure I would be allowed to paint there so I found a place to set up my easel where it would be out of the way.  Just as I got my paint on the palette and was blocking out the composition I heard a shout and saw several workers running my way.  Darn!  As they got closer I realized they were offering to move the trucks out of the way!!  I said, “NO, I want the trucks right where they are” and they kept them still till I finished!
