16x20

This is a view from the roof of the Nickelodeon Cartoon studios on a recent (rare) rainy day. Something a little different I hope as I was punishing a modern feel. I would call the methodology in working Brutal Expressionism. A violently painted work on a rough surface.
It's painted on old linen that has been covered with modeling paste and slightly sanded to give a gritty feeling.

Must be something with the foreboding, and sinister air hanging above an otherwise well painted city scape. I think it adds quite a bit more oomph to the work.

Like your paintings! Good work Bill!

I've seen a scene very similar on an oil tanker heading up to Baltimore from Nofolk. Better to be on the roof in L.A. than standing watch on deck in the freezing cold. Excelente!
