LA RIVER SERIES

Painting # 32

Radford Avenue Bridge in Studio City

November 16, 2019

La River Series: #32 (2019)
Compare this part of the LA river with my last painting in Vernon, entitled #31, where the area is mostly industrial. Here in Studio City the LA river is bordered by television studio buildings and apartments while the river is still a concrete channel, but there is clearly an urban vibe. The river in both Vernon and Studio City possess a certain but distinct raw beauty for those able to take the time to appreciate it.
