Original artwork description:

In 2019 I took a three week summer holiday to California. Like a lot of English painters I found the Californian sunlight, architecture, and general landscapes very inspiring, and ended up taking a lot of photos that I planned to paint later on.

This latest one (the third in the series) depicts a view of the skyline from street level at the corner of Pacific Avenue, underneath the famous Venice Beach sign. In my original photo I'd cropped the first part of the sign out, leaving an appropriate word, 'nice', visible instead. Add to that the pink-hued buildings (including tattoo parlour), a traffic light, and some silhouetted palm trees against a colourful Californian sunset, and you're left with a bright, bold, and colourful image that would brighten up any room in the house.

As well as being inspired by LA itself, the work of David Hockney is another obvious influence on me here, being a pop art-inspired Englishman who famously painted opulent Californian views.

As with my other paintings, which are often of food, I've aimed for a bold, graphic style rather than classical realism.

It was painted in acrylics and Posca pen on thick high quality A3 paper. It is signed on the back.

PLEASE NOTE: the painting doesn't come framed, but I've taken photos of it in a black A3 frame for display purposes.

Size - standard A3
11.69 x 16.54 inches
29.7 cm x 42 cm
Roughly 1mm thick

The painted will be packed in a protective plastic sleeve and rolled up in a strong cardboard tube.
