The Last to Leave Painting

I feel as though I’ve been thrust back in time and into a Hollywood fantasy world as I sit in the historic Orpheum Theater movie palace in Los Angeles. The decor is exotic and highly detailed, the lighting effects dramatic and emotional. And I notice a little story taking place in the exit aisle between a movie-goer and an usher. I’m inspired by a compelling visual story, intense contrast, and brilliant colors. Sometimes these elements come together in unexpected places, like in the exit aisle of this grand movie palace, which opened in 1926 in downtown LA, California. My Artistic Inspiration… I’m a cityscape oil painter passionate about bright colors and deep contrast. My inspirations are the fluid light, dramatic vistas, quiet neighborhoods and stark landscapes of California and the Southwest. I paint with a vibrant palette and expressive brushstrokes to share my vision of an essence of the urban experience. I hope that the viewer will be inspired to see the world around them in a new, beautiful light. This work is rendered in many layers of oil paint on gallery-wrapped canvas. Shipping & More… The front image extends around the sides of the deep-edge, gallery-wrapped canvas. The Last to Leave is ready to hang—no framing necessary. All of my paintings are professionally packaged, fully insured to the value of the artwork, and sent via a tracked courier. Shipping inside the US and Internationally is provided by UPS.
