Freight Yard

I am not sure what draws me to industrial scenes, but it is probably the colors and the structure of the equipment. I didn't want the blue crane to blend in with the sky so I decided to use a golden, gray colored sky. Used a red based analog color scheme throughout and then used very dark tones to accentuate the structure of the equipment and the train rail. Contrasting the geometric shapes of the freight yard with the wet runs at the bottom of the painting provided an interesting balance between industrial and organic.
Varnished with a dark bronze like meta frame. Overall dimensions approximately 24" X 45".
