from chavez ravine


I went out this morning to the same area of downtown Los Angeles for another shot at the amazing views there. This painting was done at the spot where Chavez Ravine Place ends at College St. north of Chinatown. What a beautiful and clear day it was today! I blocked in this painting and intend to work on it more in a few days... still trying to capture that flat, clear LA light. oil on canvas, 36 by 24

How wonderful.........both the picture and the ability to paint outside.......we feel pretty damn trapped here in snowy New England. I am glad I found your blog.

This is great, Alex. I love the flat light you referred to -- even if it blows out photographic images!
