My artist & blogger friend at Pasadena Adjacent.com and I visited the PMCA recently for the worthwhile Millard Sheets' early works exhibit.

Reminds me of the work of Edward Hopper. Do you think Edward is related to Dennis Hopper?...or Walter Hops?

Nice work, nice nice nice. What you captured here is the color and the mood (well, the look too). But color is what grabbed me.

My mom used to go on and on about Millard Sheets, and I couldn't find anything about his work I liked (this was a few decades ago). Seeing this, I think he deserves another look. I also thought of Edward Hopper, who is fantastic.
