Frank was nice enough to show us some of his favorite spots in LA. We painted all day at three locations. It was tiring, but so invigorating at the same time.<br /><br />Top painting: 'LA River'<br />Bottom painting: 'Dead End'<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35895114-3583079353972881612?l=painterly1.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>painterjoynoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35895114.post-57560034445427660652006-12-17T13:55:00.000-08:002008-12-09T01:56:34.408-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FL1ZqST_1Q8/RYW9B-rZDLI/AAAAAAAAABo/3CN_oMmPMOA/s1600-h/Sofia12-13-06.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FL1ZqST_1Q8/RYW9B-rZDLI/AAAAAAAAABo/3CN_oMmPMOA/s320/Sofia12-13-06.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5009618002222058674" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FL1ZqST_1Q8/RYW9COrZDMI/AAAAAAAAABw/rCBAYF1Yz2o/s1600-h/interiorwflowers.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FL1ZqST_1Q8/RYW9COrZDMI/AAAAAAAAABw/rCBAYF1Yz2o/s320/interiorwflowers.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5009618006517025986" /></a><br />This is a sketch of Sophia, who posed at the Los Feliz workshop Wednesday. <br /><br />And an interior I did at Larkin's house out in beautiful Malibu.

Around the corner from my apartment.

Again, from the drawing group. And a study of the path along the LA River.

The drawings are from the Los Feliz drawing group. The traffic study is down Riverside Drive, near Disney and Buena Vista St. I wanted to study the colors, especially the color of the sun reflecting off the highway signs as they are silhouetted against the heavy lavender skyline. And then some quick still life studies. Plums because they are so sensual in an innocent way, and donuts because they are so sensual in a crass way.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35895114-1810704592161894234?l=painterly1.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>painterjoynoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35895114.post-1160636170507492382006-10-11T23:53:00.000-07:002006-10-13T21:30:17.341-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/365/2354/1600/Cupcakes.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/365/2354/400/Cupcakes.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />I made these cupcakes so I could paint them.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35895114-116063617050749238?l=painterly1.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>painterjoynoreply@blogger.com1
