Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty Los Angeles Alley acrylic on canvas board 8" x 10" (20.3 cm x 25.4 cm) 201904034 © copyright Mike Kraus Los Angeles is an attractive beacon of optimism. What started as a Spanish colony of 11 people has exploded into a population of 18.7 million people. The Chinese came to build the railroads, African Americans seeking better opportunities after World War II, Koreans to be entrepreneurial shopkeepers, Latinos who founded and built the city, along with countless other people from around the globe. Los Angeles' diversity and openness to the world has made it the 3rd largest metropolitan economy. Behind the thin veneer of glamour is the hard work of millions of good people. This painting would look best in a space that is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, dark purple, black, white, gray, beige. or wood More About Mike Kraus Art My NPR Marketplace Business News interview about art as an alternative investment Graphic Ear Interview on WAYO 104.3 FM Boston Voyager Magazine interview at: Michael Kraus was born on the industrial shoreline of Muskegon, Michigan.
