Photo holding up a sketch in front of a still life subject: A statue of a sasquatch slightly hunched and looking to the left. The colors and composition are graphic and posterized. Two red columns behind represent the garden shop's red walls. Bigfoot's legs and hands are obscured by a row of bushy ferns.

Photo holding up a painting in front of its subject: the front of an American barbecue restaurant with a rusty old Ford pickup truck used as decoration. In the truck bed is a sculpted pink pig looking over the side. String lights adorn the roofline, and the letters, B B Q provide signage.

Photo holding up a painting in front of its subject: a sloping walkway towards a Southwest Asian street food vendor. Loose watercolor painting shows lots of perspective. Ink lines at the end give everything a touch of detail and sharpness to balance the overall looseness of the impressionistic style.

Photo holding up a painting in front of its subject: a shiny black motorcycle on its kickstand. The painting pushes the colors and saturation of the scene higher than reality starting with a more purple brick background. The foreshortened motorcycle has chrome bars, pipes, and engine parts rendered with oranges, blues, and light grays. The glass of the windshield and glossy black paint also reflect sky and ground colors.

Photo holding up the watercolor painting in front of the depicted subject. It is a restaurant with towering silos on the left, trees in the background that perfectly silhouette the roofline. The left side of the building is a brilliant turquoise and has an American flag. The parking lot is empty as the time of painting was well before business hours.
