My Mission Statement on Buses & Rail Cars Throughout Los Angeles

I will be signing my Metro ‘San Fernando’ poster

at the San Fernando Public Library next Tuesday, June 11th.

 

Stop by to get your free signed copy of my Metro poster:

Tuesday, June 11 at 10:30 AM

San Fernando Public Library

217 N Maclay Ave, San Fernando, CA 91340

A small section of the San Fernando Mission garden inspired me to paint My Mission Statement, the painting selected for the San Fernando Metro poster. The scene includes tiled roofs, exposed wood beams and an adobe wall, all typical architectural elements of Southern California. The archway, the main focus both visually and symbolically, invites the viewer to step through and explore.

The poster is currently on display on Metro buses and rail cars traveling throughout Los Angeles County.

I hope to see you in San Fernando!

Special Event: An Evening with John Paul Thornton

"Golden Leaves"

Saturday, May 19th 7-9 pm artist John Paul Thornton will be giving a presentation at La Galeria Gitana in San Fernando on the Eastern Aesthetic and Asian Influence in Art, the theme of the current exhibit. This will be about a 40 minute art talk. Then John Paul will do an art walk around the gallery with the attendees in tow and talk about one piece of artwork from each exhibiting artist putting it into a particular aesthetic context. Seating is limited and admission is $5, so call (818) 898-7708 or email the gallery to reserve seats for the presentation. I have five paintings (including "Golden Leaves") in the exhibit which is up through June 15, 2012.
