Herb Ritts "L.A. Style"

The distinctive vision of Herb Ritts is displayed in the mostly black and white photographs at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.  It is so appropriate that they be displayed there, as his outside locations were in and around the Southern California area. 

It Rarely Rains

It rarely rains, but when it does a double rainbow in a raspberry sky can be the prize. 

Gustav Klimt Drawings at the Getty

Gustav Klimt's exquisite drawings are on exhibit in "The Magic of Line," at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles through September 23, 2012.   He did thousands of drawings.  Who knew? 

A Technicolor Morning

This morning's sunrise seemed to be in Technicolor, as Chris Barber's Band was playing "Hush A Bye" in the background.  Magical!

On Location in Malibu

"The End of the Day" is a fresh and contemporary painting done in acrylic on linen on a panel.  The artist, Marcia Burtt, is from Santa Barbara. 

"Sparkling Surf, Malibu" as expressed by the self taught Los Angeles artist, Frank M. Serrano is shown.  His confidence is assured as he is the author "Plein Air Painting in Oil." 

Rodolfo Rivademar painted this high long view of "Paradise Cove."   His verve and color reflects his cultural upbringing in Argentina. 

The very colorful artist,  Alexey Steele, painted this large-sized, "As The Storm Goes On." 

Coming from Russia in his early 20's he remains true to the grand tradition of European painting.  When seeing this artist painting on location one is guaranteed a show from this immensely exuberant painter.   

I have come to look forward to the annual exhibition of plein air paintings at the Weisman Museum of Art at Pepperdine University.  When I happen on an artist painting on location, I am hoping the resultant creation will be in this juried show of the California Arts Club.  These paintings will be on display until August 4, 2012.
