Hope in South Pasadena

Pin It
Hope Street Oil, 6" x 8"
This painting is for sale.
I just finished these two paintings. Both of these paintings are South Pasadena locations and I need to thank Laurie Allee and http://southpasadena.blogspot.com/ for the wonderful photos which served as the inspiration for these paintings. Laurie hosts this wonderful blog and posts a new South Pasadena photo every night. She was very gracious to agree to let me use her photos for my paintings!

Nice work. I like the street sign. I'll bet they have a wonderful energy emanating from them in person.

These are all so nice, especially this morning when I'm not too thrilled with the idea of returning to work. They remind me why I'm living here in southern California.
