Los Angeles Sketchbook

For a few years now I have been working on my next book entitled Los Angeles Sketchbook. It will be similar to both of my previous sketchbooks: Pasadena Sketchbook, and Redlands Sketchbook, and will be filled with sketches and paintings of Los Angeles. I am currently preparing new images, and continuing to rework previously done paintings. This post contains a few of my most recent works. Some are still being refined. The majority of the paintings are 11” x 14”. A few are 14” x 20”. There will be some Los Angeles River sketches that are 8” x 22” and will span an entire spread.

Most of the paintings for the book have been completed, as is much of the copy, and am currently searching for a publisher.
