Community Sourced Street Light Series Acrylic, metal leaf on paper. 17” x 12” 2020
This cityscape detail painting is inspired by a street light on a quiet street in Pasadena. The ornate, moulded globe is unique in its design: stacked high like a ballerina’s bun. I was intrigued by the complexity of the globe and decided to use a soft color palette. The result is a calming painting which possesses a quality of translucence and stoic femininity.
The gilded lantern reflects light and gives the impression the light is “turned on.”
This is an original acrylic and metal leaf painting on paper.
