i was in downtown los angeles looking for an inspiring subject to paint -

wouldn't have guessed that it would be right there in the parking lot next to me.

the light here has been so brilliant lately - making for those deep, luminous shadows.

the objects might not be anything special, but the play of dark/light - sun / shade seemed

really outstanding to me.  

this is right off alvarado, next to macarthur park. 

ponte fabricius - rome

The Ponte Fabricius is the oldest bridge in Rome that still exists in its original state. It spans half of the Tiber River, from the Campus Martius on the east side to Tiber island in the middle.

The bridge was built in 62 BC, to replace an earlier wooden bridge and was commissioned by Lucius Fabricius. Completely intact from Roman antiquity, it has been in continuous use ever since.

Daily Paintworks - Auction for Japanese Disaster Relief

I am donating my painting "Japanese Gardens at the Huntington" for a special auction being held at the Daily Paintworks site . They have created this auction in a unique effort to help in Japanese disaster relief.

Please follow the link below to view artworks for auction. Many artists are participating in this broad challenge to raise funds for the ravaged nation of Japan in such dire need for our assistance.

Many thanks to all of you who were generous enough to bid on my last painting. It is going to a great new home; and a substantial donation is being forwarded directly to the Japanese Red Cross.
