Looking Back at the City (Prints)

Description

A last look at the city as we knew it. The memory will always stay in the minds eye.

A departure from the landscape themes that dominate my works, this was a very fun adventure. I created this piece for a pastel group challenge theme of “reflection”. The obvious choice was reflections in water or mirrors but I dove deep into the idea and came up with this painting. A lady’s eye reflecting her looking back at the city as she leaves! A very fitting current trend as many people are migrating away from the cities in this present day world. While working on this in painting, as usual, I get up and walk away or walk around and come back to start again with fresh eyes. Well I knew I was  getting there with the progress, when I started to feel like I was being watched in the room everywhere I went. Seriously, kidding aside, it was a strange feeling. That’s when I knew that I had succeeded with with my intentions in this piece
