The flow of traffic on the 405 at 6pm, or more like the congestion on the freeway, before the sun starts to come down, capturing the grittyness of the whole scene.
Here’s a new portrait sketch that’s fresh off the easel, kept it loose with the brushwork and it also came out as a nice color study, the painting is brighter and has even more color when seen in person.
There’s a quiet synergy at work between the greens of the apple and dark grey/black background resulting in a calm meditative effect, especially with the painted subject being ‘self reflective’.
