Joe Linton has written a great guide to the Los Angeles River with access points, history and maps for bike rides and walks. This painting was painted where Sunnynook ends at the river. Hard to believe such a peaceful spot exists just yards from the 5 freeway. While painting I listened to the distant freeway noises, as families of ducks floated down river, fishermen passed by poles in hand and several people walking dogs and pushing strollers pounded down the trail.
