Meditation Series: (5/8) Watching the Parking Lot in LA (2021)

The focal point of this sketch is the mural and parking arrow. The washed pen and ink sketchy part of the scene is another dimension. The mural on the side of the building is becoming more of a face and less of a part of the building, peering out, at the very center of the […]

Meditation Series: (4/8) Watching the Parking Lot in LA (2021)

This sketch has an amorphous quality. I focused on the parking lot sign and building, enlarging my photo to see as much detail as possible. The partial views of the car and the truck in the foreground does not differ from the mural and graffiti in the background. Only the green leaves of the tree […]

Meditation Series: (3/8) Watching the Parking Lot in LA (2021)

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 […]

Meditation Series: (2/8) Watching the Parking Lot in LA 2021

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 […]

Meditation Series: (8/8) Behind the Chirping Chicken, NYC (1991)

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. I had no real plan for the other colors, except I wanted the brick color to be the compliment of its natural red. […]

Meditation Series: (7/8) Behind the Chirping Chicken, NYC (1991)

In contrast to the first pen and ink of this series, I loosened up on this one, sketching it very quickly. I used water soluble ink from standard ink pens and washed certain areas with water. I like the way the water spreads the ink around. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for […]
