MISPLACED PHILADELPHIA I&II

I don't recall what triggered this idea...familiar icons in unfamiliar places...but I've completed 2 in a series of I don't know how many. For both pieces I turned to Philadelphia, a city in which I have deep roots and one I have painted extensively.


Philadelphia City Hall acrylic 36x36

Below is the first painting, posted initially in April. The White Tower is located on North Broad St., just a few blocks from City Hall.

Next up?...will be a sruprise, even to me.

TWO DOWN AND ?? TO GO

Market Square east watercolor 15x60"

A companion painting to this piece is underway...same size and format. I imagine them to become part of a larger series of Paducah streetscapes depicting the streets as they are, as they were, and in some cases, as they could be.


The White Tower acrylic 48x48"

As previously stated, this will be the first of several paintings depicting landscapes that just are not. A second piece is currently in progress.

MISPLACED

My last post of this work in progress was April 26. I've been moving slowly, and today can share the near complete painting. There are still a few more details to add.

Detail

This is the first in a planned series of paintings titled MISPLACED. Each piece will feature at least one element in the landscape that clearly does not belong.
