Random acts of violence. This painting was created after Phil returned home from fighting in Vietnam. He was disillusioned by the whole system and turned his energy from flying to painting.
3. Poncho
“He was homeless. He was a drunk that frequented the bar across the street from Phil’s studio on Canyon Road. Every day he’d watch old Poncho come out drunk.

He pointed to Poncho sitting at the bar.” Milton Berry
