This is a painting of the Hollywood Theatre which is a pretty famous and old spot in Portland. The theatre was built in 1926 and it used to show silent movies - it has since had a few face lifts since and supports independent movies. I think one of my favorite things about the old theatre is that it still has all of the intricate architectural details- and sort of reminds me of the La Sagrada Familia in Spain. I would love to do a big painting of this one day but I love how this turned out.

This is about the 5,000th time I said this but sometimes, I really wish I lived in Portland. Best of luck at the show!
Incredible stuff Erika, as usual I think it's brilliant, just awesome, you're so talented!
i love this so much. probably like many portlanders i have a soft spot for the hollywood theater. i used to go there when i was young (and it was really rundown) to see the super cheap double features. i think it was about 3 dollars for two movies.
Beautiful painting!! Good luck with the show! Sounds amazing!

You're going to have such a good show! You're so talented, I wish I could see these in person. Did you happen to catch a 60 Minutes segment on the Sagrada Familia? It was fascinating! I definitely see touches of that in that theater. xo

I've got a soft spot for old theaters and love that you chose to paint it. Good luck with the show!
