Painting Series Installed

6 of 8 Paintings at the Glendale Trader Joe's

     Over the last few months I have been working on a series of paintings for the Trader Joe's in Glendale. The series includes eight paintings of local landmarks in the area, each measuring just under 3' tall by 6' wide. These paintings were intended to bring more of the local community into the store as well as achieving a more colorful and attractive shopping environment.

     I began researching Glendale history and sketching out ideas about 8 months ago. But due to the nature of the commercial art world, this project was put on hold multiple times for other more pressing projects and signage. Because this project has spanned so many months, I was incredibly relieved after the installation on March 6th.
     I am very pleased with the outcome of this project since it proved to be challenging at times due to the technical and detailed nature of each picture. The paintings and the overall layout of the pictures achieved all of the project goals that were set. The refrigerated portion of this store is now very colorful and inviting while giving customers a dose of local history!
