Point Loma Lighthouse over Paris

Point Loma Lighthouse over Paris, 14x22 " (35x55 cm.) was painted over a map of Paris, and certain areas were left transparent so you can see through the paint. Point Loma lighthouse is in San Diego, California. The painting is hanging at Petrini's Restaurant, in San Diego, California. Esta pintura fue pintada sobre un mapa de Paris, y ciertas zonas fueron dejadas transparentes para que puedas ver el mapa a traves de la pintura. Esta obra cuelga ahora en Restaurante Petrini, en San Diego, California.

I created my own technique for this project of paintings of San Diego scenes over maps of different parts of the world. I started by steaming and ironing the maps, since they had been folded for years, and Ididn't want the marks of the folds in the painting. Experimenting with something new is fascinating. I also added stamps or a metro ticket to different paintings, each painting is unique! You can still see some of them at Petrini's , at the corner of Ash and India streets, in San Diego, California. Yo cree mi propia tecnica para este projecto de pinturas de escenas de San Diego sobre mapas de distintas partes del mundo. Comenze por planchar al vapor los mapas, pues habian estado doblados durante anos, y no queria tener las marcas de los dobleces en la pintura. Experimentar algo nuevo es fascinante. Tambien agregue tickets del metro, estampillas a distintas pinturas. Cada pintura es unica! Todavia pueden ver algunas de ellas en "Petrini's Restaurant"', en la esquina de Ash y India, en San Diego, California.
