Los Angeles: Looking South On Spring St.ca. 1906

This 18 x 24 inch watercolor was painted in 1987 and is Los Angeles viewed from a vantage point at street level that no longer exists. Spring Street no longer angles into Main St., but runs straight north to Temple. Los Angeles Civic Center and City Hall are here today. There is a Street bridge that crosses over Spring St. today. City Hall Tower (the building that Superman was able to leap at a single bound) presently stands on the left of this painting and the Los Angeles City Council Chamber is presently located on the right side of the painting. By 1928 this entire scene was gone and the face of Los Angeles had permanently changed.

What a great job! I'm so glad you posted this, because your entire portfolio is tremendous and I'm looking forward to seeing it all, especially your train series. I know you're serious about details when you include the fold-down steps on the trolley car and the open windows in the building on the left. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Your spirit, determination and skill are truly inspirational.
