Chinatown Corner near Foo Chow

This was from last Sunday morning.  We drove downtown and then wound up in Chinatown.  It was a gray morning and the car stalled as it was backing into the parking spot.  I set up, no one seemed to be around…and 15 minutes later, the street sweep vehicle was heading right towards me. Mercifully, he just kind of stopped short of where I was set up.  I finished.  The car stopped and started…and I made it to the drop off for the show and competition with 10 minutes to spare.  We sat around Bottega Louie eating brunch until around 3:30, then made our way to the bank building where the show was…And I wound up winning first prize in LA’s first Plein Air Festival.  And then we had to sputter our way home.  But it was still a great day.
