Here are three new collages of some of my favorite subjects. The center one of the The Pantry Cafe in Los Angeles was a painting I did a while ago. I wanted to recharge it so I added some little study sketches and mounted it to another cradled foam core panel. I finished all of them with a stenciled title done in pencil.
The top view is from my car heading home from a late afternoon meeting. The bottom view is looking south to downtown from the Elysian Park bridge.
Here are collages of the Music Center and a view of downtown from Elysian Park.
Here are the next two paintings: The Los Angeles Cathedral and the view heading north on the 110 Freeway at the four tunnels following a red car.
I have just completed the first eight paintings of my new series entitled Explorations of Los Angeles. These are 16" x 20" collages consisting of original watercolor paintings on both hot and cold press paper; small thumbnail sketches in pencil; with color and composition studies along the top and bottom. They are mounted to a gesso'd, cradled hardboard panel with acrylic matte medium. I added lines, stenciled text and accents with colored pencil to complete it.
