Echo Park

Even in the city, there is often an oasis that quietly demands to be painted. I have painted here several times. I used to pass Echo Park every day when I lived on the hill above it. I never thought to paint it until I moved out of the area. Funny how that works.

On another occasion, I was able to catch the fountain erupting in the middle of the lake. In still another painting, I focused on the paddle boats you see docked at the boathouse.

Don't think that you have to go to a new location every time you go out in order to find something interesting. Sometimes, all you have to do is face another direction.
