The Creation of A Spanish Cityscape

This week I started my newest painting featuring Toledo, Spain. I visited there in 2012 and was moved by its hilltop setting, its distinct architecture, and the fact that Toledo was the adopted home town of El Greco, one of my favorite painters. Unlike cloudscapes, cityscape paintings require a bit more thought and planning before adding color as evidenced in the photo and time lapse below.

The Newest Collectors of Reyes Fine Art

New work as well as some Reyes Fine Art old favorites made strong impressions at the "Affair of the Arts" on June 7-8 in Culver City. Special acknowledgement and thanks to my newest collectors, Linette and Jaimie (pictured below)!

"Aero No. 4 (Tribulation)" greets visitors to Linette's beautiful condo.

It was meant to be! The colors of "Aero No. 31 (MIA->MAD)" complemented the decor perfectly.

Jaime and me with "Aero No. 5 (Crop Circles)". I'm honored to have one of the very first Aeroscapes added to her collection of local artists and Mid-Century Modern style.

The Newest Collectors of Reyes Fine Art!

I'm happy to report there was a real buzz about my exhibit, "Cities & Skies: Travel-Inspired Art", at the show in Culver City on Sep 21-22. Who doesn't love to travel and see exciting new destinations and stare dreamily out the airplane window en route. In fact, interest was so strong...

Laurie D. purchased "LA Skyline (Night), No. 2" for her husband Craig. It came down to this one and another large LA Skyline painting but the color and proportions of this piece fit their Culver City home perfectly.

"LA Skyline (Night), No. 2" on display its one and only time.

The painting is home!

Laurie + Craig = Happy Couple = Happy Artist!

Congratulations to Lorilynn F. of Los Angeles for her choice of "Aero 2013.12 (Prelude)" which is the first study of my Aero Series to be painted entirely in oil using only a palette knife.

And last but not least, thanks to Rolin I. of Atlanta (not pictured, though his painting is lower right below) for his purchase of "Madrid No. 1 (Study)" A potent oil painting capturing the sunset over Madrid, Spain inspired by photos I took on a trip there last October.

We LOVE red dots!

Reyes Artwork Out In The World!

I wanted to share some great news about the newest collector of Reyes Fine Art. My friend Alex Jimenez recently finished a complete remodel of a great home in Los Angeles. He, along with his interior designer Herminia Mercado, selected four cityscapes to complement the color scheme and contemporary interior they put together. Some pictures of the work and the installed art are presented here, and you can check out the entire series at this link: The Urbanica Series

Selections from the Urbanica Series that Alex chose.

Alex and his new art:
"Los Angeles No. 4" and "Los Angeles No. 5"

Alex is an expert in real estate, specializing in helping clients through the short sale process. If you're in need of this kind of assistance in greater Los Angeles, he's your man. See zerodeficiencyjudgment.com for more info.

They fit perfectly!

In The Kitchen:
"Los Angeles No. 1 (Polychrome)"
"New York No. 1 (Polychrome)"

Alex and his interior designer liked the way the lime green in the paintings complemented the accent color on the ceiling of the kitchen. The black mats and frames matched the color of his cabinetry, too. A perfect fit!
