4" x 6", two hours, Arroyo Seco Dog Park. There's a small stretch of park space along the 110 FWY that I drive by every time I head from work in Downtown to school in Pasadena which has these amazing trees that, for some reason or another, have decided to grow parallel to the ground. I spent my afternoon painting them while dogs and their owners ran circles around me. A Great Dane at one point shoved his face into mine out of curiosity. I had never seen one in person before so it was quite a treat to experience such an encounter.
It's kind of funny and serendipitous because I also got The Art of Bolt in the mail today and I was thinking it would have been so fun to work on this film. The great landscape and urban environment paintings in the book by Paul Felix, Bill Perkins and others are along the lines of what we've been doing all semester in class. Hopefully if I keep going, someday I can join a top-notch visual development team like the one who worked on that movie. I won't give up!
