Sound and Vision (Sunset Boulevard)

Oil on linen.

36x24x1.50"

There is something special about an L.A. night in the rain. In my oil on linen painting "Sound and Vision (Sunset Boulevard - Tower Records)", a film crew prepares for the next shot as they work as a team in the collaborative art of cinema. The director of photography holds a light digital camera suitable for a beneath the radar indie production while the sound engineer readies their boom mic. Wheels rush by in the mist as Tower Records beckons from the past. An ad for a Prince album glows purple in the rain. Los Angeles history and cinematic artistry combine.
