Meditation Series: (4/8) Downtown LA Cityscape (2021)

These are some of the most important elements of the city scape I photographed back in ’21. Since I took photos of the rest of the block, it remains to be seen if I can re-edit the street scene with other elements. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for sale inspired by my […]

Meditation Series: (3/8) Downtown LA Cityscape (2021)

The Dewey Hotel is at the end of this block, a stop light in the middle of the block and a homeless tent at the other end. There are a few scooters strewn around (ready to rent?).

Meditation Series: (2/8) Downtown LA Cityscape (2021)

This watercolor takes from two views of this city street scene. When I took the original snapshots, I made sure to include context to the part that caught my interest (the tent and adjacent graffiti). This has enables me to compose different versions of the original scene. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork […]

Meditation Series: (1/8) Downtown LA Cityscape (2021)

This is the theme for the next meditation series. It is a Los Angeles street scene with some graffiti, a tent for a homeless person, a scooter and a shopping cart – all the essentials.

Meditation Series: (2/8) Texaco at Lafayette and Bond, NYC (2/8) (1989)

I guessed at the colors for the mural and used a second photo to fill out the architecture surrounding the urban gas station.

Meditation Series: (1/8) Texaco at Lafayette and Bond, NYC (1989)

I was again plowing through my old photos in search of something interesting and came upon a photo of a gas station in Manhattan. The year was 1989. The gas price was 137.9. Those were the days. The mural was another surprise. I can’t wait to improvise on the colors (the photo was black and […]

Meditation Series: Watching the Parking Lot in LA Sketches 1-8 (2021)

Here is the progression of my meditations, starting with the pen and ink theme in the upper-left position. The final couple of sketches are abstract, riffs on the original sketch.

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

Today’s sketch makes use of various elements of the original theme, but is quite a departure from its structure. This composition is an introspection rather than outward look at a parking lot.

Meditation Series: (7/8) Watching the Parking Lot in LA (2021)

The graffiti and storefront walls are in the same plane in this watercolor variation of the original theme of this series. The anthropomorphic windows were inspired by one of Jacques Tati’s movies (I don’t remember which one, but if you get a chance check out his filmography). There is a connection between the two realms […]
