A prolific painter, Rogaway lives on a small disability pension in an abandoned schoolhouse near Krenkel Corners. He paints 2-3 canvases a day and when he runs out, reuses the older ones. His work has a musical quality. He avoids his wife and two children by painting in an outhouse-like structure that he slaps together a few hundred yards from the schoolhouse and decorates with artifacts collected while in the Navy. Evenings, Rogaway relaxes with wine, music, and dancing. Longing for a warmer climate, he tries Mexico, Majorca, southern France, Portugal, and Taos after leaving Big Sur.
