Artist’s Notebook — Pasadena

Green_hotel_color_thumb

Castle Green, Pasadena, by Marion Eisenmann

Marion sends her impressions of one of Pasadena's more unusual landmarks, the truncated remains of a bridge — demolished in 1929 — over Raymond Avenue that once connected Castle Green with the Hotel Green. Castle Green has been converted to apartments, with ballrooms on the first floor that are frequently used for weddings and receptions.

Note: In case you just tuned in, Marion and I are visiting local
landmarks in a project inspired by what Charles Owens and Joe Seewerker
did in Nuestro Pueblo. Check back next week for another page from Marion's notebook.

By the way, Daily Mirror readers have asked about buying copies of
Marion's artwork. Naturally, this is gratifying because I think
Marion's work is terrific, and one of my great pleasures is sharing it
with readers every week. We have decided that the project is a journey
about discovering Los Angeles rather than creating things to sell.
Marion is busy with other projects and says she isn't set up to
mass-produce prints but would entertain inquiries about specific
pieces. For further information, contact Marion directly.
