#118 "Mountain Harbour"

This painting features Calgary, Alberta and was inspired by the glowing vibrancy of the busy city at dusk. The canvas appears lit by the thousands of lights organized in linear patterns against the untamed sky. The clouds are rolling onward and their organic shapes feel worlds apart from the cityscape below. The sky is preparing for rest, but the city is bright and never quite asleep even at night. The intense sky is completed in teal, cerulean blue and paynes grey. Meticulous carbon black linework is combined with pigments of pyrrole orange, burnt sienna, oxide brown, titanate cream, and titanium white to paint the dense cityscape.
