Views from Above

Some Los Angeles-area nighttime sketches from about three stories above ground, 25 miles (40 km) apart on opposite ends of town: looking at a processing plant from a rooftop in Pasadena, and a view from a bridge over busy traffic on Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica.

New Year, New Sunset

Sunsets over the beaches in Los Angeles and Santa Monica are simply spectacular.

I keep sketching them - here is the first sunset sketch of the year. This is a view from a pier overlooking the beach. There happened to be a telescope - to me, it feels symbolic, like "looking ahead" to the new year:



Visit my blog for a reference photo and a slideshow of more sunset sketches!

Disneyland

I celebrated my birthday at Disneyland. I grew up in a city nearby, so I went there a few times a year as a child until after I graduated from college. While I still live about an hour's drive away and even know people who work for Disney and have worked for Disney myself, this was the first time I visited there in over ten years. A lot of things were fresh and nostalgic at the same time - while there were tons of new attractions to enjoy, I also get to drink the mint julep and ride the same roller coasters that I loved as a kid.

I think this sketch captured the spirit of the Magical Kingdom - tourists posing for photos, a little girl walking in costume, large Mickey Mouse decoration for Halloween, cast members of the park being attentive - that day even had what I would call "storybook clouds" that are white and puffy!
