    I sat down at a local eatery and had in front of me this view behind two unoccupied tables. Perhaps it was the mundane quality of it, instead of the more important vase of flowers on top of the tables for instance. I created the sketch on location and at the time I knew I would eventually make a painting of it.

    In 2021 Augusto dined at Alexander’s in North Park, San Diego, CA. That was during the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic and they were passing out paper menus. He took advantage of that to create a sketch of one of the floral arrangements.
