Los Angeles Sketches

Here are two paintings I did a while back, but wasn't quite pleased with. As time goes by, I learn new things, and sometimes have a fresh vision for a painting that has stumped me. I added bold and bright color to the top painting. In the bottom sketch, I added pen and ink and a few more selective washes to  the sky and the darker tree areas. Coming back to an old painting is fun and quite satisfying.
