Water Tower-Rain oil on canvas 16 x 20 $200


This painting was done with a simplified palette on a raw sienna toned canvas-thus the unifying color. A thin wash of ultramarine blue, green and red (in various mixes and blends) provided the background buildings. The water tower itself was done with blends of yellow ochre and a touch raw sienna. All these colors contribute to evoke a rainy overcast late afternoon scene in Chicago.
