After a friend told me that I paint "all warm paintings", I thought I'd try to proove him wrong with this piece and the "Stockton Landscape" posted below. This one is called "Los Angeles Winter", it is 20 x 20 inches, oil on canvas. It is just east of downtown LA, over the 4th Street bridge by the train yards.

You've well-proved them wrong, haven't you? It's very cool, and I love the atmospheric cityscape.
Hey BG,
I've been looking at Maynard Dixon's landscapes. So I tried to treat the forms in a graphic way like his, including the clouds. But not being slavishly devoted, I threw a milky glaze over those buildings in the background.
I still think it has enough warms to not be a Blue painting. My opinion is a good paintng should be ballanced between warm and cool.
Bill,
Yeah, we might say the warm/cool formula is similar in ratio to the value formula (as according to Steve Huston)... 2 lights and a dark, or two darks and a light.
If that makes any sense. Well balanced being the point.
Hi Tony,
Warm, cool, balanced, -- it's alright by me. You're works are superb!
Thanks June!
Really mind blowing.....
Thanks for sharing..
