One of my favorite paintings I created during my 2019 #100daysproject
of one of my favorite shops in Iowa City, Iowa.
I've had a lifetime of fondness for all-things architecture. Painting buildings is a way of quietly taking stock of all the elements that come together to make a building. It's a bit like a portrait of a person or pet. It really helps one "see" the special characteristics of each structure.
I painted it on top of an old archival print and I liked the dance between transparent washes of gouache vs opaque color blocks.
Happy Sunday friends. Keep cool as you can.
