The da Vinci Fires in downtown Los Angeles

It's getting all William Turner in L.A. these days. Or is it Ed Ruscha? I can't tell anymore

This was painted entirely on location (en plein air) on the corner of 9th and Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles, California. Alex started the painting, John Kilduff finished it. Signed by both on the back. Alex Schaefer is best known for his burning banks series. And John Kilduff is best known for his cable access TV show "Let's Paint TV".

This is their first attempt at collaborating on a painting and it's a collectors dream because you are getting two artists in one painting; a playful and completely modern take on an old practice!
