Greenbelt resident Chris Gales paints in his spare time.

When he's not working at Home Free USA in Hyattsville, Gales stays busy with landscapes, city scapes and skewed portraits in the vein of Picasso.

On Saturday, his co-worker and friend threw a rockin' art show for Gales at the entrance to Home Free USA at the corner of East West Highway and Editor's Park Drive.
