Variations


Here is a pieces that my friend Carl Calkins sent to me. He purchased this on e-bay in 2002 from California. I believe this to be a demonstration painting that Dick was well know for doing during his classes at BMAI or San Gabriel Fine Art’s Association. I have put two other more finished works below so you can get some perspective on what Dick was able to accomplish in an hour or two. Compared to the leisure of his private studio.

This is the more finished of the three, larger color spectrum and detail. It is elaborate with the distictive "Dick Burg Dots".

Fallbrook is a town in Northern San Diego. Twenty-five miles to the west is the Pacific Ocean. It is known as the “Avocado Capital of the World.” Fallbrook lies just south of the Santa Margarita River and is surrounded by foothills strewn with oak trees. Dick utilized this particular barn scene as the theme for several demonstration paintings.
