Shelby’s is the companion structure to BlueSky. They both have the same feel even though vastly different in style and coloring. I envision Shelby’s along a lake shore bustling with activity, for me Lake Tahoe. The murky water testament to the gallons of paint, oil, and gasoline conveniently dumped shoreside.

An unobstructed view of the boat ramp and crane area. The boat and hoist house have yet to be added.
Notice the scraps of lumber and multitude of oil and paint stains. The large, haphazard pile of discarded barrels along the rear of the small fence sits upon earth heavily saturated with oil and paint. The texture of the ground plays an important role in defining the scene and adding dimension.
The pieces starting to come together! The main building, marine railway, overhead crane, exterior plumbing, rear storage shed, and the boat. The hoist houses foundation is in the extreme foreground.
The small fence atop the stone wall creates a nice backdrop for all the clutter and junk lining the opposite side.
