Industrial Wasteland

Industrial Wasteland, Oil on Canvas, 10x20 inches

All towns have scenes like this.  Desolate, eery, isolated areas that give off a vibe of wanting to be far, far away.  Except to me and my son who love to go traipsing down railroad tracks in industrial areas to see how much rust we can photograph.  I loved how the silos almost disappeared into the grey sky. The lone train seemed to be without purpose. The empty tracks continued on the horizon visually through the power lines. I worked on a long canvas to change up the feel, which in turn, slowed me down allowing me to work in-depth with the details this painting needed.
