Not far from my Apartment is Ballona Creek that runs through Culver City. This was from my effort outside a few days ago. Painted these one right after the other.

These quick Plein sketches are for sale at Daily Paintworks these would make a great set.

While painting this some guy that was sleeping under a bridge that was to the left of me came out, looked at what I was doing and just laughed and mumbled his way back to the shadows. Later when I was cleaning up he came back out, gave a look and belted out a hearty laugh.  Very amusing.
