The Urban Scene

original urban oil paintings by artist April Raber

	Air and Iron 36" x 36"  Oil on canvas The standard view of the Golden Gate is from the north, looking back at the San Francisco skyline.  This painting is from the south, looking north, and of the understructure.  I loved the architectural beauty of the bridge's underside as much as I love looking at the majestic towers from above.  Here's to the lesser-appreciated beauty of the underside! available
	L.A. River Crossing 8" x 16"  Oil on board available
	L.A. Haze Format : 12" x 16"  Oil on canvas A view of downtown Los Angeles, looking northwest from the wholesale district. This painting is on display at the 100th Annual Gold Medal Exhibit of the California Art Club, Pasadena Museum of Art. (in private collection)
	Chicago Format : 12" x 9"  Oil on canvas available
	Long Beach Light Format : 16" x 20"  Oil painting on board (in private collection)
	Paving Paradise Format : 12" x 16"  Oil on canvas This is one of the cement factories that serves Irvine.  I drive by it almost every day, and have come to admire its steadfastness.  Now I consider it an old friend, deserving of a fitting portrait. available
	The Deco Tower Format : 12" x 16"  Oil on canvas The old movie theater in downtown Long Beach is preserved here on a quiet Sunday morning.  No doubt that they will soon have it cleaned, cooled, and ready once again for the afternoon matinees. available
