Sea View 8x6
You will find this little seaside town just south of LA International Airport on Highland Avenue. It was built around 1911 on land owned by developer GH Peck. At first the streets had no names and were built on sand dune hills. Although thought to be Spanish El Porto translates "The I Carry" - the Spanish word port should have been spelt Puerto - however the name obviously has some Portuguese influences. El Porto is probably the only community in the State that was built with no gardens or yards - with two houses to a lot space is tight! The community has a very individual look - and always reminds me of the streets of San Francisco in miniature. Today it is very much the quiet surfer town only coming alive at night along Highland where you will find some great bars and restaurants! |
Outstanding work Luisa! I love how you've blended line drawing and non-linear painting. It makes for beautiful pictures.
