I was able to get more of the scene into this sketch. I like the mural in the context of the implied normal workday. The figure has to keep her eye open with her thumb and forefinger. Just like the daily grind. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for sale inspired by my […]
This is a tough one. There was a lot going on visually in the original photo of this Los Angeles street scene. There is the building facade, composed of windows and awnings and a facade of a person on the blank faced of the building facing the parking lot. That face is obscured by a […]

I played with colors in this final variation on the space behind the Chirping Chicken luncheon place. The yellow in this sketch represents the shadows and its compliment, purple, the lighted areas.

Shadows are the focus of this, the third iteration of the original theme. I made them physical entities, forgetting to conform the shadow of the ducting to the contour of the wall and doorway behind it.
