I’m not sure that means
anything, but I like the way it sounds, and the different meanings the words
can inspire. For the purposes of
this post, it means that the backs of so many urban buildings often stand in
stark contrast to their fronts, and are frequently far more interesting to me
because of the nitty gritty texture and disarray
I’ve been rendering the
back side of buildings and streets for as long as I have been painting urban
architecture…some 40 years now.

I can't help myself. When I see stuff like this I simply have to draw/paint it. Or this...

This is all incredible artwork! I'm in awe of the scenes that you can render. I tend to get mixed up when there are too many different things in the scene. You make it look so easy, and you bring out the personality of these buildings very nicely. I'm mesmerized by the structure of different styles of old buildings too.
Thanks Katherine, Positive feedback is always appreciated.
