Piece description from the artist
I painted this from the top of the City Hall Building in LA with a group of intrepid plein air painters during the second ever LA Plein Air Festival. I thought I was alone in being very jittery up there with only a few bars protecting me from a horrible death, but I overheard a big guy on his cell saying pretty much the same thing I was feeling. We both agreed that once we got painting it turned into exhilaration.
Carol Steinberg has exhibited nationally in numerous galleries and museums. She has taught drawing, design, and painting at Los Angeles City College, Cal State University at Northridge, and Otis Evening College. She earned her M.F.A. from CalArts, her B.F.A. and B.A. from Cornell University, and has received scholarships from art programs around the country.
Her work has been published, awarded several prizes, listed as an L.A. Times Best Bet, and chosen for Eddie Murphy’s film "Daddy Day Care," as well as other film and TV projects. In the fall of 2008, a dozen of her paintings appeared on the award winning TV show House in an episode about a painter with a disturbing vision problem.
Critics have said, “Steinberg can really paint with confidence and swagger…She paints in volumes and in strong personal tonalities of mood and color. Vibrant blues, greens and purple, raw, unpainted canvas, erotic or banal, the compositions express a balance of strenuous oppositions…Even a brilliant bathroom portrait takes on an atmosphere of carnival brightness.”
