Urban Scenes, the latest show put on by the Carpinteria Valley Arts Council, starts tomorrow...Saturday July 25 at 10 am. I was very fortunate to have 3 of my paintings juried into this show. The work of this show was to depict Urban scenes and I managed to have just a few of them in the studio so why not! I really do not do urban art very much simply because they take too long. I also have a very bad habit of veering to the side of adding too much detail and sharper edge work and that's due to my pen & ink background. In pen & ink I went for accuracy in reproducing what was in front of me and rarely produced more "painterly" drawings. This sort of bleeds over whenever I do streetwork, as I call it, in paint. I often find myself going back over edges and lines smoothing or softening them out.
"Bookstore Flowers" ...."Myrtle Avenue, Monrovia"...."Santa Barbara Streets"
