I walked past this door walking through a pedestrian underpass near the beach in Santa Monica (which, for the purposes of this series, is part of LA). This sketch doesn’t quite capture the lighting that made me snap the reference photo, but the visual elements are still compelling Please visit my Etsy shop for my […]
This tiled floor is part of the doorway that I sketched yesterday I couldn’t fit it all in one sketch, even though I used a vertical panorama format. The enormity of this entranceway doesn’t even offer itself for capture in a casual photo. I did include the inscription honoring the founder and builder of the beautiful […]
This is the entranceway to the ‘Blue Tile Building’ as I like to call it. Over the doors in gold letters (not pictured here) is an inscription that says ‘Est. 189_ Founded by Adolph Sieroty’. He founded the Eastern Columbia Department Store chain, and built this building on 9th and Broadway. I’m not sure it can […]
There are a lot of ornate doorways in downtown LA, that cluster of very tall buildings seen among the sprawl of lesser structures in photographs of the city. This sketch begins the next series of LA doorway portraits. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for sale inspired by my autistic brother Mike at: https://autisminspiredart.etsy.com […]

I focused on the doorway right next to the tent for this final variation of my watercolor of the downtown LA city scape. There is some graffiti present, but not too much. The clutter is not overwhelming either. Maybe this is the case because LA is hot and sunny almost every day. Please visit my […]
I started this sketch with the graffiti bicycle riding over the tent (see original sketch), I added a scooter and the shopping cart. I used water soluble ink pens for some of the lines. I like it when the colors bleed when wet. I applied colors intuitively, with no real plan. I like the way […]
This is another view of the city block, the subject of this series. There are stanchions in the street in front of the two hotels are mysterious. What is the hidden traffic feature that would require these markers? Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for sale inspired by my autistic brother Mike at: […]
I moved the hotel entrance close the the man lying down in the tent. The windows are spying on or about the scenes below them (ala Jacques Tati, wonderful French film maker).
