The result was a precise, mirrored reflection in deep perspective on the view down Brooks Street [i.e. Brooks Avenue] which faced the painting. The "mirror image" or "double reality" of Brooks Street is one the two completed L.A.F.A.S. pieces still intac"-- Street paintings of Los Angeles, unpaged, #1-2.
