Todd Carpenter's day job is teaching photography and neural science to architects. In his spare time, he creates small, focused paintings of Southern California landscapes in shades of gray that are surprisingly evocative and even colorful ... in your mind.

His show, "scaped," opens Saturday, October 16, at LAUNCH Gallery at 5412 Wilshire. (The party's from 6-10p.)
