Urban Landscape

I enjoy drawing just about every aspect of the city, especially
the physical landscape--the land and trees as well as the people,
cars and the built environment that make up an
urban landscape.  Whether it's a bit of cultivated landscape,
like the Los Angeles Arboretum...

























...the hills of Northeast Los Angeles at different times of day, or the landscape of a parking lots...I look for the passages of light and shadow...



























I like the sometimes weird mash-up of signs, cars and buildings in Los Angeles, like this little
landmark on Hollywood Blvd., Machos Tacos...

I began thinking seriously about panoramic views  
in anticipation of teaching workshops...
what makes the eye move across the page, 
or draws the eye in...
A quick view of downtown Los Angeles at dusk, and views from Barnsdall Park, 
Griffith Observatory and the Santa Monica Pier...
