This series of paintings is taken from a drive-in B movie made in 1967 in Los Angeles, CA, "The Brick Dollhouse". I took still photos from the DVD and then reworked the compositions digitally.

I tried to capture the great colors, style and carefree feeling of that particular time and place. Using classical poses and working in a traditional oil painting technique, I hoped to create a sense of timelessness and universality as well.
