the Chateau Marmont on the Sunset Strip

Here a recent plein air that I took a couple time to the location and worked on in studio.  The person who bought the painting saw it before I painted a billboard in, so this was her special request!  oil on canvas 22 by 28

Alex and Chris Paint the USA teaser 2

Christian, Luke, Danyell and I spent the past 2 days editing major portions of the road trip.  It's a beast but it's being tamed in the editing room!  While we were at it, we put together another little teaser for your viewing pleasure.  We should be done editing this soon, probably when we're about to leave for the next one!
