A BOLT IN THE BLUE

It was a nice rainy weekend and I finished this painting also.

In between painting I read. I just finished 'Famous all over town' by Danny Santiago,a story about Chicano life in LA narrated by fourteen years old Chato. It's a great book and was quite famous when it was published in 1983. Later it caused some controversy when it was revealed that the author was an elderly white man, Danny James, who had worked as a counselor in the Chicano community.
The book is an easy read and funny too, and it seems authentic. I recommend it!
