The reflection of the sunset on this long line of cars is magical! Each auto processes the glowing light in its own way. A simple street with packed-in cars, apartment buildings and overhanging palms celebrates its five minute of Magic Hour.

Artistic Inspiration—
I’m an expressionist oil painter inspired by Greater Los Angeles and Southern California. Favorite subjects include the throb of rush hour traffic; the last gasp of light before nighttime; palm-lined neighborhoods; and telephone lines and towers slicing through the sky. I’m fascinated by the tension and connection between nature and the hand-of-man. I paint with a vibrant palette and expressive brushstrokes to share my vision of an essence of the urban experience.
